FISHBASE WEBSITE
FishBase is a database of fish species from around the world. It is the world's
largest and most widely used online database of adult finfish. It has "evolved into a
dynamic and adaptable ecological instrument" that has been widely mentioned in
academic publications over time. FishBase contains detailed data on taxonomy,
geographical distribution, biometrics and morphology, behavior and habitats, ecology
and population dynamics, as well as reproductive, metabolic, and genetic
information. Its initial purpose of providing crucial facts on population dynamics for
200 major commercial species has expanded to include a wide range of information
on all currently known species, including taxonomy, biology, trophic ecology, life
history, and applications, as well as historical data dating back 250 years. The
database's breadth and depth of information, together with the web's analytical and
graphical tools, respond to the needs of a wide range of stakeholders (scientists,
researchers, policy makers, fisheries managers, donors, conservationists, teachers
and students). Its numerous uses are geared at long-term fisheries management,
biodiversity conservation, and environmental protection.
These are some of my favorite fishes. They can live in ponds and aquariums.
Because of Fishbase website, more information and data can be learned about this
type of fish, its distribution, temperature requirements, depth range, sizes, breeding
and mating behavior, and life cycle are some of those things. Fishbase helps those
who involve themselves in fishes, not just researchers and scientists but also
students and people who likes ornamental fish-keeping hobby. FishBase is a web-
based database that covers nearly every fish species known to science. FishBase
was created at the WorldFish Center in partnership with the United Nations' Food
and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and a number of other partners, as well as with
funding from the European Commission.

SEALIFEBASE
The SeaLifeBase Project is a collaboration between the FishBase Consortium
and the Sea Around Us Project (Fisheries Centre, UBC, Vancouver, Canada). This
searchable online information system is based on the extremely successful FishBase
model, and it contains vital information on scientific and common names, distribution,
ecology, and life history data for all multi-celled marine animals found in the world's
seas.
SeaLifeBase, like FishBase, makes use of information, including non-English
texts. In order to get earlier publications that are not available through the Internet or
library resources, a network of collaborators is now being formed. Members of the
SeaLifeBase staff are fluent in Spanish, French, German, and Portuguese, with
others having a working grasp of Italian. As a result, they can extract crucial
information from published sources in different languages.
