	FishBase - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		FishBase is a comprehensive database of information about fish.
		FishBase first appeared on the World Wide Web in August 1996, and hired a webmaster in the following year.
		In order to preserve its value as a scientific database, FishBase is not allowed to include original data; all of its content must be based on previously-published material.
	en.wikipedia.org /wiki/FishBase (292 words)

	Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Fishes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fishbase doesn't need it because the current version of the database is always given on the site and that is sufficient.
		Their home pages says FishBase was originally developed at the World Fish Center, which is headquartered in Penang, Malaysia, with the cooperation of FAO which is, IIRC, in New York City.
		I've tried to clean them up so they all follow the FishBase system — three orders Rajiformes, Pristiformes and Torpediniformes — instead of a mix of that and McEachran's system (which has the stingrays, eagle rays and their relatives in Myliobatiformes).

		Fishbase V1.2 is a very useful and easy to use tool that allows fisheries scientists, students, and individuals interested in the natural history of fishes to explore and aggregate families and genera of fish throughout the world.
		Fishbase V1.2 will only run in the PC environment where either a large disk or a local area network (LAN) is available.
		Fishbase has a series of relational data base tables that allows for information on individual fish species to be cross-referenced and cataloged.

		The objective of the project is to provide fisheries and hatchery managers in developing countries with fast and easy access to all information relevant to the identification and rearing of fish larvae for aquaculture and stock enhancement and for the conservation and re-establishment of fish biodiversity.
		FishBase has grown into an information system covering much of the breadth and the depth of knowledge of finfish, the largest group of vertebrates.
		FishBase 99 holds information on 20,000 of the estimated 25,000 species of finfish and is currently the main tool of an EU-funded training Program on fisheries and biodiversity management for 55 countries in Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific.

	Fishbase WWW, The Online Database of Fish Taxonomy and Occurrence (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		FishBase is a searchable database of finned fish taxonomy, occurrences, and images.
		Although all FishBase fish pictures are (or at least are meant to be) taxonomically correct, they do vary in appearance and quality, due to the different ways they were obtained.
		FishBase was developed at the International Center for Living Aquatic Resources Management (ICLARM) in collaboration with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and many other partners, and with support from the European Commission (EC).

	Contributing to FishBase (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The FishBase project is a large, international, non-profit venture which started in 1989 and whose latest product, FishBase 2000 (see www.fishbase.org) covers essentially all the fish in the world - at least in terms of nomenclature.
		The reason for this is that FishBase was funded by the European Commission to cover countries in Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific (‘ACP’) that are associated with the European Union.
		Thus you are encouraged to contribute to FishBase, notably by sending reprints or photocopies of material used for your analyses, as well as other information which you think should be incorporated (with complete sources!).

	FISHbase 3.0 - FreeFunFiles.com - A free download site
		FISHbase will not only give you the tools needed to build a foundation of fishing knowledge, it also gives you easy access to that data.
		Due to the flexibility of the system, FISHbase can be used for almost any style of fishing.
		But FISHbase goes far beyond being just a powerful fishing log application, it also includes a number of additional tools which will allow you to manage the entire process.

		The structure of FISHBASE, and especially its fields for entering common names allow for a large fraction on indigenous knowledge of fishes (i.e., ethno-ichthyology) to be incorporated into FISHBASE (Palomares and Pauly 1992).
		FISHBASE is presently available in the form of 3 « diskettes for MSDOS computers, but will be distributed starting late 1993 in the form of CD-ROM.

	Ocean Update (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		As scientific and media attention focuses on the ongoing effort to map the human genome, a new program, Species 2000, is seeking to document what it calls the "Earth's genome," the more than 1.75 million species so far described on the planet.
		One contributor to this project is FishBase, an electronic encyclopedia of fishes that was launched 10 years ago by the International Center for Living Aquatic Resources Management (ICLARM), as a project aiming to provide key information on all of the 25,000 known species of fishes in the world's oceans and freshwaters.
		According to FishBase, the results to this point show that "mapping the Earth's biodiversity is achievable, even for large, species-rich groups such as fishes, given a willingness for key players to share their resource, and thus provide an example that encourages other players to join.

		FishBase is a scientific database; this implies that its contents, like that of a scientific paper or book are linked via references to prior scientific knowledge, which enables both verification and the attribution of credit to the cited author(s).
		References are also identified by type of the over 20,000 FishBase references: 62% were derived from journal articles; 14% from book chapters; 7% from books; 6% from reports; 2% from theses; and 9% from other sources.
		Moreover, a routine was programmed to output all references by author, title, source, keywords, family or subfamily to facilitate checking and to evaluate the FishBase coverage of various fish groups or areas.

		In FishBase, maps are created anew from the information in the database whenever they are evoked; this is the only feasible way to deal with the distribution of more than 15,000 species.
		Also, FishBase maps are not classical distribution maps but rather present the data on which such maps are based: the countries from which species are reported and the localities where they have been collected.
		In FishBase, this new feature is used to connect a country to which a species has been introduced with the country of origin.

	RE: Aplocheilichthys pumilus
		The Fishbase description of the distribution of Aply.
		The Fishbase is a useful reference but use it with caution because it is not up to date in all respects and can, therefore, be misleading.
		One of the populations we collected was close to Lake Nakivali which is one of the localities mentioned for Aply.

		It is easily distinguished from all Lake Malawi endemic haplochromines in that, unlike all of them, it has a rounded, convex posterior margin to the caudal fin.
		According to information summarized at FishBase, it attains a total length of 13 cm (5 inches) and "...[f]eeds on insects, shrimps and even small fish.

		For example, the chapters of the FishBase book are authored by the FishBase staff members and collaborators who have worked with the corresponding tables, data and/or concepts.
		References to each work from which information was extracted are given in the database, and the names of collaborators are attached to all the records they provided or corrected.
