The next website update is scheduled for October to allow for planned technical work.
We appreciate your understanding.
LarvalBase is starting to be revived with this update, via a collaboration with the University of Montpellier, France. We are currently testing possible solutions, so it is a work in progress. Visit thepage for more information.
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION in a recently launchedproject to integrate the monumental Dean'sBibliography of Fishes into the references of FishBase. The references can be searched separately in theReferences search. Thanks toECoF andBHL.Work in progress.
A new table on the relationship between the first maturity and the respiration in fishes has been created with almost 500 records. Learn more in theFishBase Book.Work in progress.
Explore the FishBase Guide, an Android app to show minimum and maximum length of fish and other info of use to producers, consumers and all fish lovers. Sponsored byMundus maris asbl,Fair Fish International andSea Around Us. Download the latestupdate.Learn more
