ISSN : 1745-1000 eISSN : 1745-1019
Abbreviation : Mar. Biology Res.
Aims & Scope
Marine Biology Research ( MBRJ) provides a worldwide forum for key information, ideas and discussion on all areas of marine biology and biological oceanography.
Founded in 2005 as a merger of two Scandinavian journals, Sarsia and Ophelia, MBRJ is based today at the Institute of Marine Research, Bergen, Norway.
The Journal’s scope encompasses basic and applied research from all oceans and marine habitats and on all marine organisms, the main criterium for acceptance being quality.
In its first ten years, MBRJ has published nearly 700 submissions from 55 countries, including many research and review articles as well as eight Thematic Issues.
Marine Biology Research covers a broad range of topics, including: Ecology, Autotrophs and Heterotrophs, Food webs, Behaviour, Benthos and plankton dynamics, Biodiversity, Biogeography, Climate effects, Coastal, Oceanic, and Deep-sea habitats, Developmental and Reproductive Biology, Ecosystem functioning, Environmental and Fisheries Biology, Evolution, Phylogeny, Systematics, Microbiology and Virology, Paleoecology, Phylogeography, Physiology, Population dynamics and genetics, Taxonomy.
MBRJ covers applied aspects (environment, fisheries, management, monitoring) of marine biological research which contribute to general biological insight.
