Russian Journal of Marine Biology

Aims & Scope

The Russian Journal of Marine Biology was founded in 1975 by Alexey V.

Zhirmunsky, member of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

The Russian Journal of Marine Biology covers a wide range of research and some applied aspects of marine biology as a synthetic science related to various fields of study on marine biota and environment.

It presents fundamental research on biological processes at molecular, cellular, organismal, and populational levels in marine organisms.

Consideration is given to marine objects as models in life sciences.

The journal also publishes papers dedicated to events in Russian and international marine biological science and the history of biology.
