Fish researchers and the general public are discovering Australasian Fishes.  This online citizen science project gives users access to over 36,000 observations (data points) of Australian and New Zealand fish records, each with one or more photographs.  The site has been online for less than two years but has had contributions from over 1100 users with coverage of 2000 species.  The site can be queried by taxa or locality and the data displayed as gallery of photos, dot points on a map or as a list.  You can set your account to receive email notifications of observations from targeted localities and/or taxa of interest. If you wish, you can easily set up a new project for your own research that can feed into the larger Australasian Fishes project.
