About the Journal

Marine Biology & Biotechnology Advances (MBBA) is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal publishing high-quality research on marine life, ocean ecosystems, and biotechnology-driven applications from the sea. The journal provides a multidisciplinary platform for marine biologists, biotechnologists, and ocean scientists to share discoveries that deepen biological understanding and enable sustainable use of marine resources.

MBBA promotes the integration of fundamental and applied research across marine biodiversity, ecology, genomics, aquaculture, and blue biotechnology. By fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange, the journal contributes to innovations in healthcare, materials, food systems, and environmental stewardship derived from the marine realm.

The journal welcomes original research, reviews, and case studies focusing on current developments and interdisciplinary applications in marine biology and biotechnology. Areas of interest include (but are not limited to):

• Marine biodiversity, ecology, and conservation biology
• Marine microbiology, virology, and plankton dynamics
• Genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics of marine organisms
• Blue biotechnology and marine natural products (bioactives, enzymes)
• Aquaculture, fisheries biotechnology, and broodstock improvement
• Biomaterials, biopolymers, and bioadhesives from marine sources
• Bioremediation, marine pollution monitoring, and biosensors
• Climate change impacts, ocean acidification, and adaptation
• Marine bioinformatics, data resources, and computational modeling
• Seaweed/algaculture, nutraceuticals, and marine-derived functional foods

MBBA is published under an open-access model, ensuring unrestricted access to all published content for researchers and readers worldwide.
