Indo-Pacific Indo-Pacific

Indo-Pacific - Definition and Overview

The Indo-Pacific is the aggregate of the Indian Ocean, Pacific Ocean, and the minor seas between the two in the general area of Indonesia. The term is especially useful in marine biology, ichthyology, and similar fields, since many marine habitats are continuously connected from Madagascar to Japan, and a number of species occur over that range, but are not found in the Atlantic Ocean.
