CAS Catalog of Fishes

The catalog is divided into five major sections: Part I. Species and subspecies arranged alphabetically; Part II. Genera and subgenera arranged alphabetically. Part III. Species and subspecies names in a classification. Part IV. Genera and subgenera names arranged in a classification, and Part V. Literature cited. Two appendices follow, (A) an interpretation of the Code of Zoological Nomenclature with examples from fishes, and (B) a compilation of the Opinions and other actions of the International Commission involving fishes. Each database entry contains the genus or subgenus name, author, date, page and figures, a short-version citation and the reference number, gender, type species, author, date, method of designation of the type species, sources for status of the taxon, and the family/subfamily in which the genus is assigned. Deposited content: descriptive metadata only; underlying research data are not included.
