Subtitled "A Global Information System on Fishes," this site does
indeed seem to offer everything you ever wanted to know about fishes.
The heart of the site is two databases, FishBase and LarvalBase, the
first containing information on over 23,000 species (91,000 common
names), 41,000 synonyms, 18,000 pictures, and 17,000 references; the
latter featuring 400 species, 500 pictures, and 700 references. Both
databases can be keyword searched or browsed by common name or
scientific name. Entries include family, order, class, English name,
distribution, biology, environment, climate zone, and additional
information. Entries also offer a number of links for more
species-specific data such as synonyms, countries, key facts,
pictures, FAO areas, spawning, reproduction, predators, diet
composition, and more. The search page for each database features a
searchable glossary and reference database, and information by topic.
In addition, the main FishBase page offers downloads, a Fish Forum, a
biodiversity quiz, and a link to the expanded LarvalBase at the
University of Kiel. [MD]
