за десять лет было выполнено 600 гидрологических станций
How can hydrologic stations be "carried out"? I think it means that a point was chosen and a ship went out and took information at that point...how is this best written in English?

: Could they have built 600 stations in 10 years ? ... This would be rather ambitious, to say the least : - ))

Honestly, I don't know. I'm no expert in the field, so I've no idea how long it takes :)

Гидрологическая станция is not a short-term stop of a research ship as George said. Check this comprehensive defenition at: http://www.glossary.ru/cgi-bin/gl_sch2.cgi?RDokwurujo,lxqol!...
Гидрологическая станция - учреждение, осуществляющее изучение гидрологического режима рек, озер, морей, водохранилищ, болот, ледников - всех гидрологических объектов какой-либо территории.
Обычно гидрологической станции подчинена сеть гидрологических постов, в том числе водомерных постов.
Гидрологическая станция - пункт с определенными координатами, в котором проводится серия гидрологических наблюдений в водоеме.

And compare with this (http://geology.com/articles/gaging-station.shtml):
Gaging stations are facilities used by hydrologists to automatically monitor streams, wells, lakes, canals, reservoirs and or other water bodies. Instruments at these stations collect information such as water height, discharge, water chemistry and water temperature.
--------------------------------------------------
Note added at 13 hrs (2008-07-19 09:39:34 GMT)
--------------------------------------------------
Therefore, it may sound as:
The network consisting of 600 gaging stations has been established during 10 years.
Based on what your provided, the context doesn't give any references to any marine study or sampling in particular.
