This collection of sections through zebrafish embryos at four different stages of development is thought to provide some help to understand how the zebrafish embryo looks inside. Thin section in Araldite were stained with methylene blue. Images were taken and digitized. You will find an overview image for each stage, with links (click at numbers on image) to images of the sections. You can also download high resolution images (JPEG, about 1 MB), which in most cases are good enough to zoom in down to the level of individual cell nuclei. ... [Information of the supplier]
Virtually unique in the animal kingdom, with a saga steeped in science and popular imagination, the fabulous Coelacanth ("see-la-kanth"), that 400 million year old "living fossil" fish, paddles on. Pre-dating the dinosaurs by millions of years and once thought to have gone extinct with them, 65 million years ago, the Coelacanth with its "missing link" "proto legs" was "discovered" alive and well in 1938! ...

This January 2004 Catalog is more recent than the hardbound printed edition (April, 1998)—a 3-volume set of 2,905 pp. and a CD-ROM (see ordering information). Many errors have been corrected and new additions made in the on-line version. Treated in the "Catalog of Fishes" are about 56,000 described species and subspecies (= species) of fishes, about 10,600 genera and subgenera (= genera) of fishes, and about 21,700 references. Approximately 4,000 of the species names are not available for use because of technical reasons. About 26,000 species are valid ones, and about 25,000 are synonyms. About 200-300 new species are being described each year. Included in the on-line version are all species, genera, and references, along with the classification, introduction, and list of museum abreviations. Other parts of the printed version are not included, such as the interpretation of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (Appendix A), and the species and genera in a classification (which can be simulated with appropriate searches), and Appendix B. This is the first treatment of all described fishes since Linnaeus in 1758. Nearly all original descriptions have been located and examined by one or more of us. Some names not in current use have been found. Many mistakes in current literature are noted. We have also tried to determine the location of type specimens—entering information from available type catalogs, and the first author made visits to many major museums in search of information on types. ...

The Australian Society For Fish Biology was founded in 1971 to promote fish studies and provide a forum for the exchange of information between fish biologists. The Society has over 600 members in 2003, drawn from across Australia and overseas, representing the government, research, educational and private sectors. [Information of the supplier]
You can use the general search at the top of every page to find a particular fish by its scientific, common or family name or use the fish finders on the Find a fish page to locate your species of interest. [Information of the supplier, modified]
Die Gesellschaft zur Rettung des Störs Acipenser sturio L. e.V. wurde am 01.07.1994 im Senckenberginstitut in Frankfurt am Main gegründet. Sie ist ein Zusammenschluss von Wissenschaftlern, Institutionen/Verbänden und Vertretern der interessierten Öffentlichkeit. Ihr Ziel ist der Wiederaufbau und die nachfolgende Erhaltung der Störbestände in Deutschland und Europa. Sie dient der Koordination und Durchführung von Projekten zum Aufbau von Laichfischbeständen, zur Haltung und Reproduktion von Stören, zur Untersuchung von Habitatverfügbarkeit, zum Verhalten der Störe in ihrer natürlichen Umwelt und zum Einfluss der Fischerei auf die Besatzmaßnahmen. Dies geschieht in Deutschland in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Institut für Gewässerökologie und Binnenfischerei Berlin, dem Institut für Fischerei der Landesforschungsanstalt für Landwirtschaft und Fischerei Mecklenburg - Vorpommern und Fisch und Umwelt Mecklenburg - Vorpommern e.V. Grundlage für diese Arbeiten ist die langfristige Zusammenarbeit im Bereich der Projektfinanzierung und Begleitung der Vorhaben durch das Bundesamt für Naturschutz sowie die Förderung durch das Bundesministerium für Forschung und Technologie und das Ministerium für Verbraucherschutz, Landwirtschaft und Naturschutz Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. ...

The goal of this project is the re-introduction of allis shad in the River Rhine System. This large member of the herring family migrated in huge numbers hundreds of kilometers upstream and was once an important species for the commercial inland fishery. Allis shad grow up to 70 cm in total length and reach a total weight of up to 4 kg. At the beginning of the 20th century the Rhine shad population collapsed. Reasons for the decline included over fishing, water pollution and the construction of migration barriers. Today only a few shad are observed in the River Rhine and large populations only exist in France. With the help of the Life Project the stepwise re-introduction of this extraordinary fish species shall take place. Five million shad larvae will be stocked in the Rhine System in the next 4 years. All fish will be produced in France and marked before stocking to analyze the success of the project. ... [Information of the supplier]
The Fish Barcode of Life effort is creating a valuable public resource in the form of an electronic database containing DNA barcodes, images, and geospatial coordinates of examined specimens. The database contains linkages to voucher specimens, information on species distributions, nomenclature, authoritative taxonomic information, collateral natural history information and literature citations. FISH-BOL thus complements and enhances existing information resources, including FishBase and various genomics databases. ... [Information of the supplier]
