海洋生物學研究(MBRJ)為海洋生物學和生物海洋學所有領域的關鍵信息、觀點和討論提供了一個全球論壇。MBRJ成立于2005年，由兩家斯堪的納維亞期刊Sarsia和Ophelia合并而成，目前位于挪威卑爾根的海洋研究所。該雜志的范圍包括所有海洋和海洋棲息地以及所有海洋生物的基礎和應用研究，接受的主要標準是質(zhì)量。在最初的十年里，MBRJ已經(jīng)發(fā)表了來自55個國家的近700份意見書，包括許多研究和評論文章以及8個主題問題。海洋生物學研究涵蓋廣泛的課題，包括:生態(tài)自養(yǎng)生物和異養(yǎng)生物，食物網(wǎng)行為底棲生物和浮游生物動力學生物多樣性生物地理學氣候的影響沿海、海洋和深海棲息地發(fā)育與生殖生物學生態(tài)系統(tǒng)功能環(huán)境及漁業(yè)生物學進化,發(fā)展史,系統(tǒng)誤差微生物學和病毒學古生態(tài)學Phylogeography生理學種群動態(tài)與遺傳學分類MBRJ涵蓋海洋生物研究的應用方面(環(huán)境、漁業(yè)、管理、監(jiān)測)，有助于全面了解生物。所有提交的稿件都要經(jīng)過編輯的初步評估，如果發(fā)現(xiàn)適合進一步考慮，還要經(jīng)過獨立的、匿名的專家評審。所有的同行評審都是單盲的，通過ScholarOne手稿在線提交。

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:EcologyAutotrophs and Heterotrophs, Food websBehaviourBenthos and plankton dynamicsBiodiversityBiogeographyClimate effectsCoastal, Oceanic, and Deep-sea habitatsDevelopmental and Reproductive BiologyEcosystem functioningEnvironmental and Fisheries BiologyEvolution, Phylogeny, SystematicsMicrobiology and VirologyPaleoecologyPhylogeographyPhysiologyPopulation dynamics and geneticsTaxonomyMBRJ covers applied aspects (environment, fisheries, management, monitoring) of marine biological research which contribute to general biological insight.All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single blind and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
