This textbook introduces marine biotechnology by collecting the key knowledge on genetics, fish breeding, genetic diversity, seaweed production and microalgae biotechnology, and explores marine biomaterials and how they can benefit human health. Covering the latest applications of marine biotechnology in natural product development, genomics, transgenic technology, cosmeceuticals, nutraceuticals, and pharmaceutical development, it particularly focuses on future biological resources, developing functional materials from marine life, production of marine bioenergy and marine microbial resources and biotechnology.The author explains the structure of the book in an introductory note, and each chapter offers a detailed overview and conclusion to help readers better grasp the acquired knowledge. Lastly, the final part provides a comprehensive glossary with brief explanations of the key concepts in marine biotechnology.Written by a leading expert in the field withmore than 30 years of teaching experience, this book broadens students’ understanding of the basics and recent developments in marine biotechnology.

Prof. Dr. Se-Kwon Kim has more than 40 years of experience as a marine biochemist, working in the field of marine bioprocess and biotechnology. He is currently a Distinguished Professor at the Korea Maritime and Ocean University and a Research Advisor at the Kolmar Korea Company. He held a marine biochemistry professorship at the Department of Marine Bio Convergence Science and Technology, and was also the director of the Marine Bioprocess Research Center at the Pukyong National University, South Korea. Prof. Kim obtained his PhD from the Pukyong National University, before joining the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign (USA) for postdoctoral research. From 1999-2000, he was a Visiting Professor at the Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada. His research has been published in more than 650 original papers, 70 books and 120 patents.Prof. Kim's major research interests include bioactive substances derived from marine organisms and their various applications (e.g. as pharmaceuticals, cosmeceuticals, nutraceuticals or for dietary supplements).
