Marine Species Lists

 

We have partnered with FishBase and SeaLifeBase to create species lists and ecosystem records for the Strait of Georgia. 

FishBase is a global species database of fish species (specifically finfish). It is the largest and most extensively accessed online database on adult finfish on the web.FishBase provides comprehensive species data, including information on taxonomy, geographical distribution, biometrics and morphology, behaviour and habitats, ecology and population dynamics as well as reproductive, metabolic and genetic data.

FishBase has recently produced ecosystem records for the Salish Sea, Strait of Georgia and Puget Sound, and full species lists of finfish for the Strait of Georgia. They have also updated their species records for the Strait of Georgia in a sister database, SeaLifeBase, which is a global online database of information about marine life other than finfish.  This database aims to provide key information on the taxonomy, distribution and ecology of all marine species in the world apart from finfish.
