A Global Information System on

Fishes

Welcome to

the world of

fishes. The

purpose of

this page is to

give you

background

information

on FishBase,

a global

information

system with

all you ever wanted to know about

fishes. FishBase is a relational

database with information to cater to

different professionals such as research

scientists, fisheries managers,

zoologists and many more. FishBase

on the web contains practically all fish

species known to science. FishBase

2004 is also available on DVD or CDROMs with full information on 28,500

species. It comes together with the

FishBase 2000 book and can be

ordered for 95 US$ including air-mail.

FishBase was developed at the

WorldFish Center 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). Since 2001

FishBase is supported by a consortium

of nine research institutions (see

below).
