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. [3] [4] [5]
The seven native fish species regularly seen in fresh water are the flagtail (Kuhlia xenura), the mullet (Mugil cephalus), the gobies (Awaous stamineus, Lentipes concolor, Sicyopterus stimpsoni and Stenogobius hawaiiensis), and the sleeper goby (Eleotris sandwicensis).

Most oceanic species (78 per cent, or 44 per cent of all fish species), live near the shoreline. These coastal fish live on or above the relatively shallow continental shelf. Only 13 per cent of all fish species live in the open ocean, off the shelf. Of these, 1 per cent are epipelagic, 5 per cent are pelagic, and 7 per cent are deep water. [16]
Catalog of Fishes is a comprehensive on-line database and reference work on the scientific names of fish species and genera. It is global in its scope and is hosted by the California Academy of Sciences. It has been compiled and is continuously updated by the curator emeritus of the CAS fish collection, William N. Eschmeyer.
Several species, including the giant sea bass, are overfished and endangered, according to research from the University of California San Diego. Metal detectorist finds 1,200-year-old artifact ...
The species lives in the deep waters of the Pacific Ocean, which NIWA scientist Brit Finucci said makes them difficult to study. One ghost shark was caught on camera swimming off the coast of ...
