At 30 September 2011, the database holds information on about 400 NZ fishes, 30 Ross Sea fishes, and 300 invertebrate species. For each record, the following information is generally available: phylum, class, order, family, and genus to which a particular species belongs, and scientific and common names. Other information includes descriptions of distinguishing features, colour, size, distribution range, depth range, similar species, and biology & ecology. Relevant references are listed. For each fish record, an image and a distribution map is provided. Images are also provided for most invertebrates. onGoing pointOfContact NIWA ++ 64 4 386 0866 voice ++ 64 4 386 0574 facsimile 301 Evans Bay Parade, Hataitai Wellington 6021 New Zealand d.tracey@niwa.co.nz Di Tracey Scientist pointOfContact NIWA ++ 64 4 386 0580 voice ++ 64 4 386 0574 facsimile p.mcmillan@niwa.co.nz Peter McMillan Fisheries scientist pointOfContact NIWA ++ 64 4 386 0827 voice ++ 64 4 386 0574 facsimile r.naylor@niwa.co.nz Reyn Naylor Group Manager oceans New Zealand waters, including the Ross Sea marine invertebrates field identification guide image distribution map benthic species database fishes theme eng utf8 https://dc.niwa.co.nz/niwa_dc/srv/metadata/32065adc-8b35-4a90-984d-62e9baaea690 WWW:LINK-1.0-http--metadata-URL Point of truth URL of this metadata record https://one.niwa.co.nz/display/SYSTEMS/Marine+Species+Information+Database WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Link to Marine Species Information Database
