Las ciencias del mar en la Revista de Biología Tropical en su 50 aniversario / Marine science in Revista de Biologia Tropical in your 50th anniversary

RESUMO

The first paper published in the Revista de Biología Tropical (RBT) on anything related to marine science was in 1963. Since then the number of marine-related papers has increased to 637, which represents 27 percent of the total production of RBT (excluding the Supplements), and 33 percent since 1979. Most publications are Full Articles on Ecology (135 papers). The marine ecosystem of which there is more publications is the coral reefs (28); and fish is the most studied taxonomic group (165). Almost half of the Supplements are marine related (12). The RBT must continue its efforts to maintain itself as a leading marine science publication in Latin America
