The United States is the world leader in marine biotechnology (representing the single largest region for marine biotechnology worldwide); however, research activities are growing in Brazil, Canada, China, Japan, Republic of Korea and Australia. This encyclopedia will have a vast audience including students as well as industrialists - many upcoming universities are bringing up this subject to graduate as well as postgraduate level. The author is well known internationally in the field. 100 contributors from Asia, USA, South America, South Africa, Europe and the UK, lend their vast knowledge to the five-volume set.
