FishBase is a global species database of fish species (specifically finfish). [1] It is the largest and most extensively accessed online database on adult finfish on the web. [ 2 ] Over time it has "evolved into a dynamic and versatile ecological tool" that is widely cited in scholarly publications.
The usage of the parameters: |genus= the genus name (e.g., Cepola) |species= the species name (e.g., macrophthalma) |id= (optional) the id number given for the article; this links straight to the FishBase article
Catalog of Fishes is a comprehensive on-line database and reference work on the scientific names of fish species and genera.

This database, initially confined to tropical fish, became the prototype for FishBase. FishBase was extended to cover all finfish, and is now the largest online database for fish in the world. [4] Given FishBase's success, there was naturally a demand for a database covering forms of aquatic life other than finfish.
