World Register of Marine Species

The World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) integrates approximately 100 marine datbases to provide an authoritative and comprehensive list of marine organisms. WoRMS has an editorial system where taxonomic groups are managed by experts responsible for the quality of the information. WorMS register of marine species emerged from the European Register of Marine Species (ERMS) and the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ). WoRMS is a contribution to Lifewatch, Catalogue of Life, Encyclopedia of Life, Global Biodiversity Information Facility and the Census of Marine Life.

《世界海洋物种登记册》（WoRMS）整合了大约100个海洋数据库，以提供一套权威且详尽的海洋生物清单。WoRMS拥有一套编审系统，其中分类群由负责信息质量的专家进行管理。WoRMS的海洋物种登记源于欧洲海洋物种登记册（ERMS）和弗拉芒海洋研究所（VLIZ）。作为对Lifewatch、生命目录、生命百科全书、全球生物多样性信息设施和海洋生命普查的贡献，WoRMS应运而生。
