Résumé :	This book is the first attempt to list all marine species in Europe in order to avoid any confusion of their names. The check list includes about 30,000 species representing all marine taxa in Europe. Lists of species, such as provided here, are only the starting point for marine biodiversity management and research. The value of producing the lists is: " To provide a single nomenclature for European marine species, which will generate further research to clarify anomalies, and " To form the basis for more elaborate species databases, with more synonyms, and data on species distribution, ecology, conservation importance, economic importance, and so on. It is anticipated that the register will become a standard reference and technological tool for marine biodiversity training, research and management in Europe. The species register can be used to: Check the spelling or find the correct name of a species and the authority; " For a given species, check what other (or how many) species exist in the same Genus, family or higher taxa. These species may not be included in the local identification guides; " Find information on the distribution of species among higher taxa; " Indicate the level of knowledge of a group of species by analyzing the rate of discovery of species; " Find literature on the identification and other knowledge of marine species in Europe.
