Marine Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics of the Northwest Pacific Ocean

About this book

Language: English

Marine Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics of the Northwest Pacific Ocean is prepared jointly by the Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IOCAS, Qingdao) and A.V. Zhirmunsky Institute of Marine Biology, Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IMB FEB RAS, Vladivostok) as an outcome of a collaboration in the field of marine ecology and biodiversity studies. It covers various topics of ecosystem research, biodiversity, biogeography, and environmental safety of the East China, Yellow and Japan seas, focusing on the common problems in both countries. In Marine Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics of the Northwest Pacific Ocean, the editors have tried to cover a wide range of biological oceanographic issues and invited leading scientists to present comprehensive review papers. The editors hope that this book will be useful not only to national researchers, but is of broad interest for neighboring countries and world wide.
