FAO FishFinder: The Species Identification and Data Programme

FishFinder aims to improve the identification of marine organisms of actual and potential interest to fisheries:
1. Provide and disseminate tools to facilitate species identification in fisheries, and in so doing, improve fisheries data quality.
2. Provide a global and coherent system of scientific and common nomenclature.
Priority is assigned to resources of major commercial importance or threatened and to developing regions facing difficulties in species identification.
