《海洋學(xué)》雜志發(fā)表了關(guān)于海洋研究的原始論文，重點(diǎn)放在基本方面。處理海洋環(huán)境過(guò)程的文件比純描述性的文件更可取;它們應(yīng)有助于了解海洋生態(tài)系統(tǒng)的功能，包括它們的非生物方面。

The journal Oceanologia publishes original papers on marine research with the emphasis on fundamental aspects. Papers dealing with processes in the marine environment are preferred to purely descriptive ones; they should contribute to the understanding of the functioning of marine ecosystems, including their abiotic aspects.
