《Marine Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics of the Northwest Pacific Ocean(精)》编著者SUN SONG、ANDREY V.ADRIANDV、KONSTANTIN A.LUTAENKO、SUN XIAO-XIA。

This book is prepared jointly by the Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of

Sciences (IOCAS, Qingdao) and A.V. Zhirmunsky Institute of Marine Biology, Far Eastern

Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IMB FEB RAS, Vladivostok) as an outcome

of collaboration in the field of marine ecology and biodiversity studies. It covers various

topics of ecosystem research, biodiversity, biogeography, environmental safety of the East

China, Yellow and Japan seas, focusing on the common problems in both countries. In this

book, we have tried to cover a wide range of biological oceanographic issues and invited

leading scientists to present comprehensive review papers. We hope that this book would be

useful not only by national researchers, but is of broad interest for neighboring countries and

worldwide.
