FishBase aims to make all relevant information on all fishes of the
				world available for free on the Internet. This ambitious task is
				achieved through a network of international partners coordinated by a
				Consortium of currently nine (10) scientific institutions
				(	
CAFS,
					
AUTh,
					
FAO,
					
IOF-UBC,
					
WorldFish ,
					
GEOMAR,
					
MNHM,
					
MRAC,
					
NRM,
					
UFS
				) who are providing support for this work.
				The bulk of data entry and maintenance is done by a team of specialists
				based in the Philippines. Funding for this team comes from research and
				development projects secured by 
Consortium partners and supported by our
				
donors. FishBase also accepts donations from private
				sponsors and in recognition shows their logo and link in selected
				Species Summary pages.  Sponsorships start at $100 or 80 EUR per species per year.  Please contact the 
	
					 if you
				are interested in becoming a FishBase sponsor.
