About Fishes of Australia Online

Fishes of Australia online is an initiative of the Australian Ichthyological taxonomy community under the banner of OzFishNet and the Australian Biological Resources Study (ABRS), with support provided by DEW (Department of Environment and Water Resources).

Project partners include ABRS, Museum Victoria, CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research, the Australian Museum, the Queensland Museum, the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory, the Western Australian Museum, the South Australian Museum, Dr Gerald Allen (Conservation International), Rudie Kuiter and Ken Graham (NSW Fisheries).

Fishes of Australia Online compiles information about the biodiversity and evolutionary relationships of Australian fishes, with the aim of providing information, identification tools, images and other resources for every fish species known from Australian waters.

We hope Fishes of Australia Online will be used by all people interested in Australian fishes, including students, teachers, nature lovers, amateur scientists, graduate students, lecturers and researchers seeking identification keys, images, phylogenetic trees and other systematic information.
