BEST SEARCH ENGINE I'VE USED FOR BIOLOGY
& PUFFERS. i entered genus & species names, and the
family names, got lots of results each time. this engine
searches more of the web than normal engines which are paid
to have certain sites up front & available, or searches
according to age of the website or registration with
them. Search engine that says it is all about
aquaria & water subjects.

Classification/Taxonomy
Some sites may be simple, but may also have
links or contacts to people in the field.
Some also require that you are registered with their organization or university.
This site is amazing. I use it constantly. it is a
collaborative effort of many scientists. repaired
link a German site, taxonomy & classification http://web.calacademy.org/research/ichthyology/catalog/classif.html
California Academy http://www.marine.csiro.au/datacentre/taxonomy/calacademy_fishclass.htm California Academy, taxonomy Harvard University of Texas University of Massachusetts http://www.infobiogen.fr/services/deambulum/english/genomes4.html

as it is nested in another site.
