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.
Avibase – the World Bird Database [4] Birds, distribution, taxonomy X Avibase is an extensive database information system about all birds of the world, containing over 27 million records about 10,000 species and 22,000 subspecies of birds, including distribution information for 20,000 regions, taxonomy, synonyms in several languages and more
Catalog of Fishes is a comprehensive on-line database and reference work on the scientific names of fish species and genera.

Whereas FishBase is a database about adult finfish, LarvalBase is a database about the juvenile stages of fish.
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.
AquaMap for Mola mola, the ocean sunfish. AquaMaps is a collaborative project with the aim of producing computer-generated (and ultimately, expert reviewed) predicted global distribution maps for marine species on a 0.5 × 0.5 degree grid of the oceans based on data available through online species databases such as FishBase and SeaLifeBase and species occurrence records from OBIS or GBIF and ...
A database restricted by geography such as Calflora focusing on California Floristic Province flowering plants and ferns is not a GSD. The Catalogue of Life links together a number of GSDs of animals , plants , fungi , and microorganisms , such as FishBase [ 5 ] and AlgaeBase, and integrates these at a high level through a single node ...
