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.

Its goal is to give essential information on the taxonomy, distribution, and


ecology of all marine species except finfish around the world. SeaLifeBase is
collaborating with the WorldFish Center in Malaysia and the University of British
Columbia's UBC Institute for Oceans and Fisheries. The lead investigator is Daniel
Pauly, and Maria Lourdes D. Palomares is the project coordinator. It featured
descriptions of 74,000 species, 47,700 common names, 12,400 images, and
references to 31,700 scientific articles as of October 2016. FishBase, which provides
similar information for finfish, is supplemented by SeaLifeBase.
These are some informations of some species found in SeaLifeBase website.

FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION


The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) is a United Nations specialized
body in charge of international hunger relief initiatives. The FAO's mission is to
ensure that everyone has access to food and security, as well as to ensure that
people eat enough high-quality food on a regular basis and live active, healthy
lifestyles. FAO has 194-member nations and works in over 130 countries throughout
the world. They think that everyone can make a difference in the fight against
hunger.

The Food and Agriculture Body (FAO) is a neutral international organization


founded by the United Nations in 1945. It aims to alleviate hunger by providing
information and supporting sustainable agriculture through legislation and national
plans. By assisting its member nations in modernizing and improving agriculture,
forestry, and fishery practices, the FAO contributes to worldwide efforts to combat
hunger and enhance local economies. The Food and Agriculture Organization aims
to assist member nations in being self-sufficient in feeding its indigenous populations
while also producing enough to become active trade partners with other countries—
in other words, to be able to profit from agricultural products. The FAO works within
local cultures with local employees to improve existing practices while keeping local
economies intact, focusing on the sorts of food production that are suited and
prevalent for each country.

The capture of aquatic animals in marine, coastal, and inland settings is


known as fishing. From harvesting, processing, marketing, and distribution, marine
and inland fisheries, as well as aquaculture, provide food, nourishment, and a source
of income to around 820 million people around the world. It is also an element of
many people's traditional cultural identity. Illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing
is one of the most serious challenges to the long-term viability of world fisheries. Fish
and its many associated products are important for food security and nutrition, as
well as economic growth through fish production and commerce, according to the
FAO., as well as the reduction of poverty and the establishment of job possibilities in
rural areas.
The FAO, through the Committee on Fisheries (COFI) and related sub-
committees on Fish Trade and Aquaculture, plays a key role in international fisheries
policy. Governments, Regional Fisheries Bodies, cooperatives, and fishing
communities are among the many partners with which FAO collaborates.
