The New "Check List " systematically recorded the scientific names (in Latin and Chinese) including original designation, the main synonyms(in square brackets), and the geographical distributions in China seas and the world oceans of all species(totally 22629) of the Chinese marine life in 46 major phyla.The reference lierature and systematic index of all taxa are also provided. A total of 5118 more species (29.2%) were added to those (17511 species) recorded in 1994. It indicates that great success and progress of taxonomy and biodiversity studies have been achieved in this short period of 13 years. The increase of marine species in number and percentage was particularly high in the dominant groups of invertebrates such as the crustaceans and mollusks which amounted to 4320 and 3914 species, an increase of 50.0% and 53.1% respectively.
     The present volume of published in Chinese and English is convenient for Chinese and foreign readers and for international academic exchange. It can meet the demands of basic information collection and inventory works for the studies on marine life taxonoy, biogeography and for biodiversity and bio-resources conservation.

    The above information shows that in this volume there is richer and more substantial change in taxonomic and ecological context compared with the "Marine species and their distribution in China's Seas" (Huang, 1994) published 13 years ago.
    The general taxonomic system adopted in this volume is that of Cavalier-Smith"Six Kingdoms of Life" (1998, 2004), in which only one kingdom, hte Kingdom Bacteria, was recognized belonging to the Superkingdom Prokaryota, and 5 other Kingdoms, viz.Protozoa Chromista, Fungi, Plantae and Animalia, belonging to the Superkingdom Eukaryota-with the traditional "Kingdom Protista"（Corliss, 1974) split into Kingdoms Protozoa and Chromista.
