Fishbase - SeaLifeBase Symposium

On 6 and 7 September 2021, a symposium will be held at the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle (Grande Galerie de l'Évolution) to celebrate the 30th anniversary of FishBase and the 15th anniversary of SeaLifeBase. This symposium will be an opportunity to illustrate the different uses of FishBase and SeaLifeBase in the fields of ecology, biogeography, fisheries, taxonomy or aquariology. It will highlight the contribution of these two global information systems to the knowledge of biodiversity and the sustainable use of aquatic ecosystems, and those from various other databases. On Tuesday September 7th, at 10:10, Stefanie Dekeyzer from the WoRMS Data Management Team (LifeWatch Species Information Backbone) will talk about WoRMS and its relation with FishBase and SeaLifeBase.
