本期《生态毒理学》特刊涉及2004年2月25-26日在印度果阿邦多纳保拉国家海洋研究所举行的国际海洋污染与生态毒理学研讨会上发表的部分论文。本期特刊的主题是“海洋污染的生物标志物和污染物的微生物降解”。由于持久性有机污染物(POPs)、重金属、多环芳烃(PAHs)和放射性核素等各类污染物在各种海洋生物组织中的残留，以及它们在食物链中的生物放大，海洋污染已成为全球关注的问题，对人类健康构成严重威胁。近年来，由于各种人为活动，海洋环境中的污染物水平在很大程度上增加。据报道，全球大部分沿海地区都因污染而遭到破坏，严重影响了海洋资源。鉴于海洋污染造成的严峻形势，迫切需要开发生物标记物，以便快速评估各种污染物对海洋环境的影响，从而帮助采取适当的补救措施。本期刊载的论文分为两部分。
This special issue of Ecotoxicology is dealt with selected papers presented at the ‘International Workshop on Marine Pollution and Ecotoxicology’held during February 25–26, 2004 at the National Institute of oceanography, Dona Paula, Goa, India. The theme of this special issue is ‘Biomarkers of marine pollution and microbial degradation of pollutants. Marine pollution has become a global concern because of bioaccumulation of residues from various types of pollutants such as persistent organic pollutants (POPs), heavy metals, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and radionuclides in tissues of various species of marine organisms and their bio-magnification across the food chain leading to serious threat to human health. In recent years, levels of contaminants in the marine environment have increased to a large extent as a consequence of various anthropogenic activities. Most of the coastal areas around the world are reported to be damaged due to pollution, significantly affecting marine resources. In view of the stringent situation caused by marine pollution there is an urgent need of the hour to develop biomarkers for rapid assessment of the impact of various types of contaminants on the marine environment and thereby help undertake appropriate remediation measures. The papers presented in this issue are classified into two sections.
