| rdfs:comment | - FishBase is a global species database of fish species (specifically finfish). It is the largest and most extensively accessed online database on adult finfish on the web. Over time it has "evolved into a dynamic and versatile ecological tool", widely cited in scholarly publications. As of de-8-monŧ 2011, FishBase included descriptions of 32,100 species and subspecies, 292,500 common names in almost 300 languages, 50,500 pictures, and references to 46,000 works in the scientific literature. The site receives about 30 million hits per month.

| abstract | - FishBase is a global species database of fish species (specifically finfish). It is the largest and most extensively accessed online database on adult finfish on the web. Over time it has "evolved into a dynamic and versatile ecological tool", widely cited in scholarly publications. FishBase provides comprehensive species data, including information on taxonomy, geographical distribution, biometrics and morphology, behaviour and habitats, ecology and population dynamics as well as reproductive, metabolic and genetic data. There is access to tools such as trophic pyramids, identification keys, biogeographical modelling and fishery statistics and there are direct species level links to information in other databases such as LarvalBase, GenBank, the IUCN Red List and the Catalog of Fishes. As of de-8-monŧ 2011, FishBase included descriptions of 32,100 species and subspecies, 292,500 common names in almost 300 languages, 50,500 pictures, and references to 46,000 works in the scientific literature. The site receives about 30 million hits per month.
