La variabilidad en la distribución de meso-escala del sifonóforo Muggiaea atlantica y la hidromedusa Aglaura hemistoma se investigó en relación a las rápidas oscilaciones espaciales del frente plataforma-talud en la costa Catalana (Mediterráneo noroccidental). Durante la primavera, se realizaron tres campañas oceanográficas intensivas, distanciadas 10 días entre sí. La alta variabilidad en la posición del frente fue resultado de la advección de aguas de baja salinidad procedentes del Golfo de León, al norte del área de estudio, debido principalmente a los aportes del río Ródano. La alta variabilidad espacial observada en la distribución de las dos especies estuvo muy relacionada con la posición cambiante del frente. Ambas fueron mucho más abundantes en el lado costero que en el lado oceánico del frente, donde éstas fueron muy escasas o incluso ausentes. El frente actúa como una barrera limitando el desplazamiento hacia mar abierto de estos dos cnidarios. Los análisis estadísticos realizados mostraron que la profundidad y salinidad, como variables independientes, fueron indicadoras de la señal y la posición del frente, explicando la mayor parte de la varianza de la distribución y abundancia de ambas especies.
