• Aquacultre Network Information Center (http://www.aquanic.org/). Funded by the NOAA and the NSDA, this site covers thousands of publications, directories, and web resources. Users can browse by species, ecological systems, or type of web publication.

• CephBase (http://www.cephbase.dal.ca/). The purpose of CephBase is to provide life history, distribution, catch and taxonomic data on all living species of cephalopods (octopus, squid, cuttlefish and nautilus). CephBase is created and maintained by James B. Wood & Catriona L. Day under the supervision of Dr. Ron K. O'Dor, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

This site has been noted for its' excellent up-to-date bibliography on cichlids and their evolutionary significance.

• FishBase (http://www.fishbase.org/home.htm). Developed at the International Center for Living Aquatic Resources Management (ICLARM) in collaboration with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and with support from the European Commission (EC), FishBase is a relational database which contains information on more than 23,000 finfish. The data clearinghouse has compiled a wealth of facts, from distribution maps to swimming speeds.

• LarvalBase (Fish Larvae) (http://www.larvalbase.org/). Funded by the German Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development, this site was begun in close conjunction with FishBase to aid in the identification of fish larvae and provide information on rearing techniques.

• ReefBase (http://www.reefbase.org/main.aspx). A project of WorldFish Center and the International Coral Reef Action Network (ICRAN), ReefBase "is the world's premier online information system on coral reefs, and provides information services to coral reef professionals involved in management, research, monitoring, conservation and education."

• Scripps Institution of Oceanography (http://www-sio.ucsd.edu/). Affliated with the University of California at San Diego, this site contains numerous links to information related to the marine sciences including links to the websites of current researchers.
