The true precursor to FishBase: Scientific card index box on fish biology and population dynamics, initiated in early Grew in leaps and bounds: DVD-based…

FishBase went online in October 1998

FishBase search page in 2011 FishBase in 2011

Also, we learnt that fish taxonomy (identification) remains a problem Sorting out valid names and correct spellings remains a major headache; Sorting out valid names and correct spellings remains a major headache; The number of species keeps increasing ( new fish species per year); The number of species keeps increasing ( new fish species per year); Names keep changing (1% per year); Names keep changing (1% per year); Knowledge about fishes increases exponentially. Knowledge about fishes increases exponentially.

Therefore, ENCODING is important and never- ending… core FishBase Encoder Team …

The success of FishBase is clearly illustrated by our website, which receives monthly: million hits million hits Over ½ million unique visitors Over ½ million unique visitors Hits come from: Hits come from: All continents All continents A variety of users: A variety of users: Individuals Individuals Universities Universities Museums Museums Research Institutes Research Institutes School children School children NGOs NGOs

What do our ½ million visitors per month want? June – August 2009

Success with FishBase… what about non-fish marine life? SeaLifeBase

SeaLifeBase in 2011 … deep-linked to FishBase ~118,000 species, incl. fish Not as data deep (yet)

FishBase & SeaLifeBase widened the scope of fisheries science and provided the opportunity for global studies, beyond narrow, single fishery focus of traditional fisheries scientists Ecosystem- and global-scale effects of fishing…

Sea Around Us Project Named after Rachel Carson’s book Named after Rachel Carson’s book Initiated in 1999 Initiated in 1999 Assess, document and communicate the impact of fisheries on the world’s marine ecosystems Assess, document and communicate the impact of fisheries on the world’s marine ecosystems Why? Fishing is single most important impact factor on global oceans Why?
