Through our Anniversary Spotlight Series, we celebrate 35 years of #FishBase and 20 years of #SeaLifeBase by honoring 18 incredible collaborators whose passion, generosity and expertise helped shape these global biodiversity databases. 🌊🐟 Read their stories: bit.ly/FB-SLB_SpotlightSeries.
Back from my first #FishBase conference! It felt like a journey through the history of key databases and the exciting ones still to come! Times are changing, and so is how we understand #fish.
Truly honored to have been invited to speak at this one!
#CollaboratorSpotlight: For Dr. Chuck Blend, the ocean’s best stories come from its smallest —and squirmiest— residents.
He’s described 60+ new worm species, loves the Humpback anglerfish, and helps #FishBase share deep-sea biodiversity knowledge with the world. 🪱🐟

🪼 “I was excited about the bottom-up approach.”
That’s how marine biologist Florian Lüskow recalls discovering #FishBase & #SeaLifeBase in 2019. Now based in 🇸🇪, he contributes jellyfish data of remote regions—helping keep these global resources strong. 📊 sealifebaseblog.medium.com/collaborator...
In #VanishingFish, #DanielPauly exposes the hidden costs of #overfishing. We rarely stop to think about how fish ends up on our plates—but maybe it's time we did. 🐟🌍 #globalfisheries #sustainablefisheries #oceanhealth #climateaction #shrinkingfish #MarineConservation #FishBase #MarineEcosystems
The photo-like image shown in this article is AI-generated—and it’s very inaccurate & highly misleading!

Q-quatics and ICS FORTH met in Crete, Greece 🇬🇷 to tackle issues around transforming #FishBase into a semantic knowledge base. 🐟📊
Some of the data simplifications in FishBase aren’t obvious to non-biologists—so this 3-day deep dive was essential to get everyone aligned. 🐟🧠 #SemantyFish #OpenScience
A fish’s name might mean “cures humanity” or “shaman dance.”
#FishBase holds 320K+ names in 350+ languages—many Indigenous—preserving culture, language & ecological memory. 🐟🌍
“It’s more than biology—it’s history.” – Dr. Deng Palomares, FishBase Pioneer

Why does #FishBase catalog fish names in 350+ languages?
Because a fish name is never just a name. With more than 330K names recorded to date, many Indigenous, FishBase.org preserves not just data—but a piece of cultural memory. 🐟🌏
