Sea of Japan Biodiversity Studies (SoJaBio)

俄罗斯/德国联合考察队（日本海生物多样性研究[SoJaBio]）计划于2010年8月至9月在R/V Akademik Lavrentyev上前往日本海深处。它将包括大约12名俄罗斯科学家，主要来自海参崴的A. V. Zhirmunsky海洋生物研究所，以及大约相同数量的德国参与者。考察的目的是研究一个半封闭的相对年轻的深海盆地中所有大小类生物的生物多样性，该盆地与邻近的海洋深海区隔离，其特点是生产力相当高，并受到人为影响。今后将把结果与太平洋一个开放的、非孤立的深海区（靠近Kurile Kamchatka海沟 *）的生物多样性进行比较，并与在CeDAamar（深海海洋生物多样性普查）框架内获得的、用同样的齿轮和标准化取样方法收集的大西洋和太平洋其他现有深海数据进行比较。此外，我们还想在距海岸和深度的背景下研究各站的丰度和物种丰富度，比较α多样性和α多样性，并在GOODS** 提供的背景下比较物种和高等分类群的动物地理分布与世界范围的地理分布。2012年索内RV的提案已于2009年10月15日提交。全球开阔洋和深海海底地理分类"（教科文组织，2009年）

A joint Russian/German expedition (Sea of Japan Biodiversity Studies [SoJaBio]) onboard of the R/V Akademik Lavrentyev to the deep part of the Sea of Japan is planned between August-September of 2010. It will include about 12 Russian scientists mainly from the A.V. Zhirmunsky Institute of Marine Biology in Vladivostok and about the same number of German participants. The expedition is designed to study the biodiversity of organisms of all size classes in a semi-enclosed comparatively young deep-sea basin isolated from adjacent ocean deep-sea areas which is characterised by quite a high productivity and Is influenced by anthropogenic impact. The results shall be compared in future with the biodiversity of an open, non-isolated deep-sea area of the Pacific (close to the Kurile Kamchatka Trench*) and with other existing deep-sea data from the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans obtained in the framework of CeDAMar (Census of the Diversity of Abyssal Marine Life) and collected with the same gears and a standardised sampling methodology. Moreover, we want to study abundance and species richness of stations on the background of distance from shore and depth, compare alpha-diversity with ß-diversity and the zoogeographic occurence of species and higher taxa with the world-wide geographic distribution on the background of the GOODS** provides.*Proposal for the RV Sonne for 2012 has been submitted by 15.10.2009.** Global Open Oceans and Deep Seabed biogeographical classification (GOODS)"(UNESCO, 2009)
