Description
FishBase is a global biodiversity information system on finfishes. From its initial goal to provide key facts on population dynamics for 200 major commercial species, FishBase has now grown to having a wide range of information on all species currently known in the world: taxonomy, biology, trophic ecology, life history, and uses, as well as historical data reaching back to 250 years. more

At present, FishBase covers >35,600 fish species compiled from >61,700 references in partnership with 2,520 collaborators, >329,500 common names and >64,000 pictures. Our website gathers more than 700,000 visits monthly.
