FishBase Client Description

Quick access of information on the FishBase database FishBase is an amazing tool for both scientists and aquarists. But it can be chore navigating the web site, and not all the mirrors work equally quickly all the time. FishBase Client will speed things up by making searches easier and by offering a quick way to toggle between Fishbase mirrors around the world.FishBase Client is a tool for quickly accessing information on the FishBase web site by species, genera, common name, and family. Here are some key features of "FishBase Client":Launch the application. You will see the application window has five tabbed sections. Each allows a different type of search:· Species: Type in the genus and species name, e.g., Betta splendens. You will be taken directly to that fish's page.· Genus: Type in the genus name, e.g., Haplochromis. You will be presented with a listing of all the fish that have (or have had) that genus name. This will include those species for which the genus name is invalid (i.e., a synonym) as well as those for which the name is valid.· Genus (Strict): As above, but this time only those species for which the genus name is currently valid will be shown.· Common: Type in a common name, such as "goldfish" or "perch". You will get a listing of those species for which that common name has been used.· Family: Type in a family name, e.g., Cichlidae. You have two options. Pressing "List" will give you a listing of all the currently recognised species within that family. Pressing "Summary" gives you a summary of the biology of the family. What's New in This Release: · Defaulted to Fishbase.org (common name search at .de mirror broken)
