FishBase

Answer in brief

FishBase is a scientific database covering tens of thousands of fish species. Use it to check names, ranges and identifying features after an app gives you a species.

When to open it

Use FishBase to look up a species an app suggested, compare lookalikes, or find a fish’s scientific name. It is a reference, not a field tool.

How it relates to CatchVault

CatchVault identifies the fish at the water. FishBase is where you go deeper afterwards. Listing it here is not a partnership.
