Abstract This report addresses the emerging science and developing technologies encompassed by marine biotechnology. It contains a broad overview of marine biotechnology, set forth industrial realities, and assesses the future potential of this new field of biotechnology. The report has eight chapters. The first contains a wide-range of major scientific achievements in marine biotechnology. The subject area encompassed within marine biotechnology are grouped within six areas: aquaculture; marine animal health; marine natural products; biofilm and bioadhesion in the marine environment; bioremediation; and marine ecology and biological oceanography. The remaining chapters detail an extensive survey and status report on marine biotechnology in the United States, Japan, Australia and Norway.
