“信息化学品”（信息传递化学品）在生物系统的水下通信中占主导地位。它们影响生物体的运动和行为、种群之间的生态相互作用以及海洋食物网的营养结构。然而，相对于其陆地对应物，海洋信息化学品的更广泛的生态和经济重要性仍然没有得到充分研究，需要协调一致的跨学科努力，以揭示海洋化学生态学的全部潜力。我们以具体实例强调了当前的挑战，并建议如何通过对海洋生物化学生态学的研究，为未来的“蓝色增长”（海洋资源的可持续利用）和维护健康的海洋生态系统提供实施新的管理解决方案的机会。
"Infochemicals" (information-conveying chemicals) dominate much of the underwater communication in biological systems. They influence the movement and behavior of organisms, the ecological interactions between and across populations, and the trophic structure of marine food webs. However, relative to their terrestrial equivalents, the wider ecological and economic importance of marine infochemicals remains understudied and a concerted, cross-disciplinary effort is needed to reveal the full potential of marine chemical ecology. We highlight current challenges with specific examples and suggest how research on the chemical ecology of marine organisms could provide opportunities for implementing new management solutions for future "blue growth" (the sustainable use of ocean resources) and maintaining healthy marine ecosystems.
