Educational use of Fishbase by public aquaria

In the 21st century, zoos and aquaria work is oriented towards the goals of education, research and conservation. Public aquaria aim to educate their visitors about the aquatic world and to raise awareness about the importance of nature conservation and the threats that aquatic ecosystems face.
To fulfill this mission, public aquaria need to have access to accurate and verified scientific information. When it comes to fish, FishBase is the most renowned resource.
A survey carried out among French and European public aquaria revealed the most sought-after data on FishBase and the most frequent uses, which are made of it.
