The Tennessee Aquarium Conservation Institute has launched a new online database of scientific records and photos of more than 400 native fishes. Described by the Institute as a “Facebook for Fish,” this resource is now available to scientists, students and the general public.
75 watersheds
Officially called the Freshwater Information Network (we actually like the Facebook title), with a few clicks at https://tnacifin.com, anyone can discover which species live near them in more than 75 watersheds in eight states, including the Black Warrior, Cahaba and Coosa watersheds in the Birmingham area.
