Description: Since its creation in the late 1980s FishBase has evolved into a highly dynamic and versatile ecological tool. A citation analysis based on Scopus, mainly for citations in journals, and Google Books, for citations in books, revealed that it has penetrated into the primary aquatic and general literature, review literature, and aquatic and general books and textbooks. With a cumulative number of citations of 653 during 1995-2006, it belongs to the 0.11 % of the highly-cited items published during 1900-2005, irrespective of discipline.
Notes: Papers presented at the 4th annual FishBase Symposium.
