Multilingual Search for Migratory Fishes - A Prototype
quick search |

|
A prototype for multilingual search has been developed by directing users to the Fishbase common name database, which contains 207,200 common names! You can test this tool by entering any common fish name. Your request is directed to FishBase, and the scientific name is extracted and fed back into GROMS, which analyses the migratory status of the species, using the scientific name. If it is not migratory, you are re-directed to FishBase. Note: this process takes some time, but greatly enhances our Register of Migratory Species, which is based on scientific names, and "only" contains common names in English, French and Spanish. | ||||
