Why does #FishBase catalog fish names in 350+ languages? Because a fish name is never just a name. With more than 330K names recorded, many Indigenous, FishBase protects not just data—but cultural memory. 🐟🌏

Two large opah caught off Antique add a rare Phil. record—but their species remains unresolved. FishBase flags older PH records as probable Lampris guttatus misidentifications. Proper documentation could clarify the species & strengthen FishBase’s PH data.
