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

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. 🐟🌏 nautil.us/whats-in-a-fis…

SemantyFish featured in #ERCIMNews for transforming FishBase to a FAIR-by-design semantic knowledge graph, improving interoperability, discoverability & long-term usability for richer queries, easier data integration, & stronger global open science. Read: ercim-news.ercim.eu/en144/special/…

Congratulations, Dr Deng Palomares!
