FishBase A biological database on finfish, developed by ICLARM in collaboration with FAO and many other partners; supported mainly by the European Commission. Here is some info on FishBase. FishBase is an information system with key data on the biology of all important fishes. Similar to an encyclopedia, FishBase contains different things for different people. For example, fisheries managers will dive into the largest existing compilation of population dynamics data; taxonomists will enjoy the electronic version of Eschmeyer’s (1990) catalog of the genera of recent fishes; conservationists will use the lists of threatened fishes for any given country (IUCN 1994); policymakers may be interested in a chronological, annotated list of introductions to their country; research scientists, as well as funding agencies will find it useful to gain a quick overview of what is known and what is still unknown about a certain species; zoologists and physiologists will have the largest existing compilations of fish morphology, metabolism, gill area, eye pigment, brain size, or swimming speed at their fingertips; ecologists will likewise use data on diet composition, food consumption, prey and predators as inputs for their models; aquaculturists will be surprised to see functional databases on genetic traits and culture experiments, as well as the foundation for a global strains registry; the fishing industry will find information on proximate analysis, as well as processing recommendations for many marine species; anglers will enjoy a listing of all game fishes occurring in a particular country (IGFA 1994); students of indigenous knowledge will find more than 50,000 common names of fishes together with the language/culture in which they are used and comments on their etymology. Divers, anglers, aquarists, researchers can create their personal/institutional database of where and when they have seen, caught, or acquired what fish. Biodiversity managers can create national fish biodiversity databases to keep track of regulations and uses. This information is accessible through an easy-to-use software interface on any IBM-compatible personal computer (386 or better, 8 MB RAM or more) with a CD-ROM drive and Microsoft Windows 3.x or Windows 95 installed. FishBase will need 3 megabytes on your C: drive when run from the CD-ROM. A full installation requires 530 megabytes, on any drive. FishBase runs fine on a LAN and will require 530 megabytes on the server and 3 megabytes on the workstation. FishBase also runs on Macintosh that can switch between Mac and Windows. It should run on a Power PC in Windows mode but we have not tried it yet. We do not intend to create a special Mac version. FishBase has been reviewed by R.A. McCall and R.M. May in Nature, Vol. 378:735, 31 August 1995, and by Matsuura in the Japanese Journal of Ichthyology, Vol. 42 (3/4):342  
魚庫 國際水產生物資源管理中心和聯合國糧農組織與許多其他的機構合作發展的有鰭魚生物學資料庫;主要由歐洲的委員會支持。以下是一些「魚庫」網站上提供的資訊。「魚庫」是一個資訊系統,以關鍵資料顯示所有重要魚類的生物學特性,類似一套百科全書,為符合不同使用者的需求而包含不同的事物。舉例來說,漁業管理者可利用最大的群族動態資料庫;分類學家可參用埃施邁爾1990年發表的近代魚類屬目錄電子版;環保主義者可使用任何國家受威脅魚類目錄(國際自然及自然資源保育聯盟1994);決策者可以利用名錄介紹他們國家;科學家與出資單位可以從中
