FishBase | BlueSky: @q-quatics.bsky.social

FishBase is the world's largest open-access information system on fish species, managed by & powered by a global network of collaborators.

[FishBase | BlueSky: @q-quatics.bsky.social @FishBaseProject]

Why does #FishBase catalog fish names in 350+ languages?

Because a fish name is never just a name. With more than 330K names recorded, many Indigenous, FishBase protects not just data—but cultural memory. 🐟🌏

25 years after bottom trawling ended, Chile's seamounts remain damaged. A single trawl can cause irreversible harm – prevention is the most effective strategy.

@UN_FAO_GFCM must learn from this lesson: extend the deep-sea trawl ban to at least 800m.

Genetic diversity underpins the ability of species to adapt, recover, and thrive—but it's often overlooked.

The #GDRI is now on FishBase, making genetic diversity data more accessible for evidence-based conservation & fisheries management. @SWIMSHKU

The ocean has its own sun, stars, moon and rainbow.
And no, we're not talking about astronomical events or weather phenomena, but real species!

Take a look⬇️

[Oceana in Europe @OceanaEurope]

Across Europe & beyond, progress is being made to protect marine habitats. While challenges remain, momentum for ocean action is growing.

Genetic diversity underpins the ability of species to adapt to environmental change, withstand disease, and recover from human pressures. Despite its importance, it is often overlooked.

The New Tool: https://t.co/ZKp6IaK0Zy brings this hidden dimension of biodiversity into view.

Better fisheries data can support better conservation decisions. New research fills major historical gaps. 📚 https://t.co/KD2VRgAkyZ

🆕#FishBase35 launches the #GeneticDiversity #RiskIndicator. #GDRI turns complex genetic data into clear risk levels (🔴 High | 🟡 Medium | 🟢 Low), offering early warnings well before declines appear in catch statistics! #genetictool

Fish populations need more than numbers—they need #geneticdiversity to adapt and thrive. 🧬

The new #FishBase #GDRI tool, an early warning indicator of reduced genetic diversity, turns complex genetic data into clear conservation insights.

The ocean is full of highly competent animals doing very serious things. Unfortunately for them, from certain angles, many of these animals look relatable.

Here are some of our favourite underwater marine animal moments where first impressions don’t tell the full story. 🐟 🐠

We often talk about healthy oceans and productive fisheries as if we had to choose between them. We don’t. Sustainable fisheries depend on abundant fish populations.

Dr. Daniel Pauly & @DrRashidSumaila explain why rebuilding fish stocks matters, and what’s at risk if we don’t.

#ToolsInAction: Taxonomy changes constantly. Are the scientific names in your species list still valid? 🐟

Use the Match Names Tool before analysis/submission to catch invalid names, synonyms, & misspellings— & help avoid unnecessary delays.
