This website is designed to promote and disseminate information about fish collections and taxonomic research on fishes within Australia. It is the result of the efforts of collection management staff and research scientists of the nine major Australian institutions holding fish collections, and is the initial step in the multistage development of an on-line electronic information source for the provision of:
* details about the institutions within Australia having significant, permanent collections of fishes, as well as insights into the collections themselves,
* information about research scientists who are working, or have previously worked on the taxonomy and biogeography of Australian fishes, and about the nature of their studies,
* an interactive method for locating fish specimens currently held within Australian museums by taxon and collection locality, and
* a series of aids for the identification of Australian fishes and for attaining additional information about these taxa.
