Features: Marine biology is an important branch of biology and a crucial component of limnology, oceanography, and marine environmental science. It is closely related to aquaculture science and covers a wide range of topics. Over the past 50 years, marine biology has made significant progress, and some terms and concepts have been further refined. Therefore, the publication of this dictionary is both necessary and timely. The entries in this dictionary are comprehensive, covering all aspects of marine biology. In terms of definitions, it not only adheres to classical knowledge but also reflects the latest developments in contemporary marine biology. The writing and review process spanned 8 years and involved 88 experts from various age groups in the marine and aquaculture fields, bringing together their collective knowledge into this book. This endeavor is a significant event in China's marine and marine biology communities. It will contribute to the teaching and research of marine biology and serve as a reference for non-marine biology professionals to clarify doubts. The dictionary includes 4,143 terms related to marine biology, covering topics such as general discussions, morphology, classification, ecology, tissues, physiology, embryology, and more, as well as a small number of terms from neighboring disciplines.
