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…

Using Q-quatics databases/tools: FishBase, SeaLifeBase, and AquaMaps, @SeaAroundUs map fish locations based on where species are known to live—so catches are accurately represented, rather than randomly plotted.

Thank you for sharing!

#DanielPauly coined “#shiftingbaseline syndrome” (1995): each generation accepts a more degraded environment as “normal.” 🤔 When historical baselines are forgotten, biodiversity loss is underestimated & conservation targets weaken. davidsuzuki.org/expert-article… #MarineBiodiversity

Fish locations are mapped using FishBase, SeaLifeBase and AquaMaps. This helps place catches where species are known to live—not randomly on the map bit.ly/blog217sau

Understanding how aquatic species grow is key to fisheries, biodiversity, and food webs bit.ly/goltfcrr2026

#MappedData tool by the @SeaAroundUs combines FAO reports + reconstructed unreported catches. Species distribution data from #FishBase & #SeaLifeBase help map catches at global scale. Big-picture trends. Science-informed insights. #DataForConservation seaaroundus.org/70-years-fishi…

Partnerships is key. From communities to governments, collective action ensures aquatic knowledge is visible, usable & drives real-world impact. 📸 Thanks to LinkRural (Fernanda Arraes) & all participants who made this exchange so productive! #BlueCollaboration #DataToAction 📊
