Biodiversity is the most crucial and essential part of marine researches. To
determine hosting species and recognize their biotope in ecosystems also
underline the fundamentals of ecology and biology. In marine science, data
intake from these two disciplines serve as a trigger for other scientific studies
and pave the ways for new discoveries. Today, we see that biodiversity
knowledge has progressed rapidly not only in marine and terrestrial
environments in general, but also in the subsystems such as cave sites, coral
reefs, mangroves, alpine lakes, hydrothermal vents etc. Differing greatly from
site by site according to special characteristics of its own, diversity in habitats
may reach beyond the limits on special circumstances.
