  • Recommended general purpose "Web Search Engines"

Powerful search engine, providing free web search and site search. Particularly suitable for educational purposes.

 

  • Aquaculture netwoks and data bases on fish, other aquatic animals, etc..

The Aquaculture Network Information Centre (Aquanic) is a gateway to the world's electronic aquaculture resources (mainly USA). Contains thousands of links to a variety of academic, governmental, commercial, organisational and private aquaculture sites.


A Global Information System on Fish. FishBase on the web contains information on practically all fish species known to science. (31,000 species, 47,000 pictures, 42,500 references).
It is supported by a consortium of seven research institutions, the F.A.O. and the European Commission.

CephBase is a relational database-driven web site providing taxonomic data, life history, distribution, images, videos, references and scientific contact information on all living species of cephalopods (octopus, squid, cuttlefish, nautilus).


CRUSTICON


Crusticon is a scientific, non-profit crustacean website focused on photography.
It consists of two independent sub-sites:
- A pictorial guide to the Crustacea Decapoda (shrimps, lobsters and crabs) of the Eastern Atlantic, the Mediterranean Sea and the adjacent continental waters, including brief information on their distribution and ecology, as well as identification references.
- A pictorial guide to the Crustacea Amphipoda of northern Europe.

 


Web site provided by the American Society for Microbiology, which is the largest single life science society, composed of over 42,000 scientists and health professionals.
Its mission is to promote research and training in the microbiological sciences and to assist communication between scientists, policy makers and the public to improve health and the environment.

 

  • Taxonomic Information Systems on the web

European Register of Marine Species (ERMS).
ERMS is a research consortium funded by the European Union under the Marine Science and Technology programme (MAST). This concerted action is producing a register of marine species in Europe, linked with bibliography of identification guides, register of taxonomic experts and locations of collections of reference specimens.

Species 2000 has the objective of enumerating all known species of organisms on Earth (animals, plants, fungi and microbes) as the baseline dataset for studies of global biodiversity.

Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS).
Authoritative taxonomic information on plants, animals, fungi and microbes of North America and the world. ITIS is a partnership of U.S., Canadian and Mexican agencies; other organisations and taxonomic specialists. ITIS is also a partner of Species 2000 and the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF).
