Fish Resources

BiologyBase Fish Index  

Links are presented in no particular order - that will come later. I apologize if my personal biases (systematics and ecology of neotropical fishes, especially Poecilidae and Cichlidae, get in the way).

Go to Aquatic Resources page
Go to Oceanography and Marine Biology Resources page
Just the Cichlid links please (there are more there than here)


Cichlid Research information - everything you want to know about cichlids, or who's working on it (cichlids include Freshwater Angelfish, Oscars and others and generally care for their young. They're really fascinating fishes and there are about 1500 species (maybe 3000)). Of use to everyone is his page of Caviats for information sources. While specifically about cichlids, it's really relevant to ALL information sources, especially online.
