About the journal
JMBA is an international journal with a worldwide distribution publishing original research on all aspects of marine biology. It includes current international research developments and features much of the pioneering work taking place today on major issues concerning marine organisms and their environment. Subjects covered include: ecological surveys and population studies of oceanic, coastal and shore communities; physiology and experimental biology; taxonomy, morphology and life history of marine animals and plants; and chemical and physical oceanographic work which relates closely to the biological environment. Papers are also published on the rapidly developing techniques employed at sea for the sampling, recording, capture and observation of marine organisms, and chemical analyses of sea water. JMBA is produced from a working marine laboratory by scientists actively involved in research.

Figures
Should be referred to in full in the body of the text (e.g. Figure 1 rather than Fig. 1). Figure legends should take the following style:
Fig. 1. Shell utilization patterns of Pagurus middendorffii. Values at the top of each histogram indicate total numbers of individuals.
Tables
should not be excessive in size and headed by informative legends. Legend, headings and footnote are delimited by horizontal lines as shown in example below: Table headers are centered and roman (normal) typeface. Column headings are bold.

Genus and Species Names
Should be italicised and appear in full at each first mention in a new section and if starting a sentence. In italicised text (Abstracts) species names should be normal typeface
Citation of Literature
References in the text should refer to the authors name (no initials) and year of publication. Two authors should be cited using ¡®&¡¯ (Rainbow & Dellinger, 1993); for more than two authors, the name of the first author followed by ¡®et al.¡¯ (Lallier et al., 1987). When citing more than one publication use date order and a semi-colon as a separator e.g. (Mykels & Skinner, 1985a,b; Skinner, 1996; Gorind et al., 1997). The manuscript should be carefully checked to ensure the details of authors and dates cited in the text exactly match those in the reference list. Cross checking of references in the text to the cited literature and vice versa is the responsibility of the author.
All literature quoted in the text must be listed in alphabetical and chronological order of author names at the end of each manuscript.When more than one publication with the same first author(s) is cited the following order
alphabetically applies: (a) single author, according to publication dates; (b) same author and one co-author; (c) same author and more than one co-author.
The style follows the full name according to the ¡®World List of Scientific Periodicals¡¯ latest edition, London. Titles of journals must be written in full and references to books should include the place of publication and the publisher.

Processing
Manuscripts will be critically reviewed by at least two referees and authors are requested to nominate four suitable referees together with their correct e-mail addresses at submission. Subject to suitable review, papers may be selected for publication by the scientific editorial group, who reserve the right to reject papers not deemed to have high priority. Acceptable papers will be returned to the author for revision and editorial corrections, and must be returned within three weeks. The acceptance date will appear on the first page of the published manuscript.
Revised manuscripts must be returned by e-mail. The revised text should be a Microsoft Word file (2003 format or earlier).
Figures must be submitted at this stage as PC-compatible LZW compressed TIFF files. These should be 300 dpi resolution at single column (8.5 cm) or double column (17.5 cm) width. The bit depth should be set to 2-colour (1 bit)
for black and white line drawings or greyscale (8 bit) for images incorporating shades of grey. Colour images may be of whichever depth is most suitable. Halftones should be grouped as composites or as individual pictures and a scanned electronic version submitted with the revised text. All figures should be labelled with a medium weight sans serif font of an appropriate size to result in 8 point (3.33 mm) type when reduced to single column width. If figures are in parts, please label with upper case letters (A, B, C etc) in the top left corner of each part. Colour photographs will be charged to the author(s) at a rate of £700 per page.
Proofs
The corresponding author will receive the proofs by email as pdf files and this may require downloading Acrobat reader from the internet. Printing errors must be carefully corrected. Stylistic changes will not be possible without payment at this stage.
Reprints
Fifty reprints will be provided free of charge from the publishers. Extra reprints must be ordered using the form provided with the proof or email to madams@cup.cam.ac.uk
