The article surveys major techniques, highlights typical data inputs such as species observations, environmental variables, and ecosystem measurements, and summarizes application patterns across modelling, prediction, classification, and decision support. Emphasis is placed on practical workflows, strengths and limitations, and how methodological choices affect interpretability and reliability. The review connects methodological development with ecological questions and provides guidance for applying machine learning responsibly in ocean studies.","ICES Journal of Marine Science, 2023, 80, 1829–1853 DOI: 10.1093/icesjms/fsad100  \nAdvance access publication date: 3 August 2023  \nReview Article  \nMachine learning in marine ecology: an overview of techniques and applications  \nPeter Rubbens1,2 , Stephanie Brodie3 , Tristan Cordier4,5 , Diogo Destro Barcellos6 , Paul Devos7 , Jose A.
