Springer - DNA Barcoding in Marine Perspectives Book

With more than two thirds of the planet covered by oceans, assessing marine biodiversity is a difficult task. As the global population grows, the demand for marine resources for food and energy increases, putting pressure on fragile aquatic environments. This book addresses the urgent need for sustainable conservation efforts through modern scientific methods. Traditional taxonomical methods for identifying marine species are often complicated by taxonomic controversies. This text provides a look at the concept of DNA barcoding and its significance in marine perspectives. It offers a way to approach biodiversity assessment that moves beyond the limitations of older identification techniques, making it a valuable resource for those studying marine life and conservation strategies.
