Register of Antarctic Marine Species

The Register of Antarctic Marine Species, also known as RAMS, is a taxonomic database that provides a list of marine species found in the Southern Ocean surrounding Antarctica.^[1][2]

Its purpose is to provide authoritative and comprehensive information on the diversity of marine life in the region, which provides a reference point for marine science, research, conservation and sustainable management.^[3] The database includes marine species found on the sea floor, in the water column, and around sea-ice.^[4] RAMS is a regionally-focused database within the World Register of Marine Species.^[1]
