OBIS - FishBase (Philippine Server)

Listed in CoastWatch Caribbean/Gulf of Mexico Node

FishBase is a global information system on fishes.

Description

FishBase is a relational database with information to cater to different professionals such as research scientists, fisheries managers, zoologists and many more. FishBase on the web contains practically all fish species known to science.

FishBase was developed at the WorldFish Center in collaboration with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and many other partners, and with support from the European Commission (EC). Since 2001 FishBase is supported by a consortium of seven research institutions. DiGIR is an engine which takes XML requests for data and returns a data subset stored as XML data (as defined in a schema).

For more DiGIR information, see digir.sourceforge.net/ , diveintodigir.ecoforge.net/draft/digirdive.html , and digir.net/prov/prov_manual.html . A list of Digir providers is at bigdig.ecoforge.net/wiki/SchemaStatus . Darwin is the original schema for use with the DiGIR engine.

The Ocean Biogeographic Information System (OBIS) schema extends Darwin. For more OBIS info, see iobis.org . See the OBIS schema at iobis.org/tech/provider/questions .

Queries: Although OBIS datasets have many variables, most variables have few values. The only queries that are likely to succeed MUST include a constraint for Genus= and MAY include constraints for Species=, longitude, latitude, and time. Most OBIS datasets return a maximum of 1000 rows of data per request.

The limitation is imposed by the OBIS administrators. Available Genera (and number of records): (error)
