FishBase is a free-to-access online global fish diversity information system, the largest and go-to species database for all fish known to science.
Joined October 2013
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. 🐟🌏 https://t.co/D8EsGyDnF8

Indigenous words for fishes open a window into endangered cultures.

Sharks… playing? 🦈 A new study shows sharks nudging, flicking, and swimming through toys—behaviors that look like play, even if the paper couldn’t use the word. As co-author Patrick Sun puts it: “We thought they were playing.”

New video shows sharks swimming through hoops, and picking them up with their noses. It sure looks like they are having fun. But researchers are divided.
