Published records of fish social systems are valuable, but often lost in the literature; informal observations can fill gaps. ShoalBase can centralise literature and log new observations so patterns become visible. Know a paper? Please add it! Seen a behaviour? Please add that too! shoalbase.org

🧵1/9 There are 35,000+ fish species, but we have formal social-behaviour classifications for a tiny fraction. Most knowledge lives in the experience of researchers, fishers, divers, aquarists, naturalists, and Indigenous communities, but almost none of it is centralised. So we built ShoalBase.org.

A global database that records social systems of fish species, with categories like: solitary, pairing, shoaling, schooling, colony, aggregation, courtship/mating, parental care. Anyone can contribute! If you’ve seen fish behaviour that fits any of these categories, submit it here: shoalbase.org
