Earlier this year, we announced an exciting development on AquaMaps, unveiling the groundbreaking workflow named AquaX. AquaX stands as a cutting-edge ensemble modeling framework that encompasses the next-generation AquaMaps, along with several other species distribution models and a brand-new website. Presenting the official AquaX logo. The representation of ‘Aqua’ in…
In the context of corporate branding and marketing, ‘logo’ pertains to the visual symbol or emblem that represents a company or organization, serving as a unique and easily recognizable embodiment of the brand. They are typically designed to convey the company’s identity, values, and undertakings. For Q-quatics databases FishBase, SeaLifeBase,…
Climate change will bring about significant distributional reorganization of marine life with a net range loss of core habitat for the majority of marine species, a new study led by researchers at the Alfred Wegener Institute Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research, Bremerhaven (AWI) and co-authored by the AquaMaps…
“Can you help us?”–A simple request from FishBase pioneer Dr. Daniel Pauly to UBC Researcher Dr. Gabriel Reygondeau, led to a recent breakthrough for one of the cutting-edge databases of Q-quatics. AquaMaps is the global species distribution modelling component of FishBase and SeaLifeBase. It creates predictive maps of the natural…
The FishBase Guide app and Fish Sound Quiz received lots of attention at the ‘love your ocean’ initiative of the International Boot Fair 2023 (January 21-29) in Düsseldorf, thanks to our long-term partner Mundus Maris for bringing these tools to German fingertips! Boot Düsseldorf is the world’s largest water…
The AquaMaps Team of FishBase –Kristin Kaschner (Albert-Ludwigs University), Cristina Garilao (GEOMAR) and Kathleen Kesner-Reyes (Q-quatics), provided present and future biodiversity data for over 2,000 benthic and pelagic species inhabiting the Mediterranean Sea, for the study “4D marine conservation networks: Combining 3D prioritization of present and future biodiversity with climatic…
Cristina Garilao, a.k.a. Nina, is originally from Manila but has been living in Kiel for nearly 13 years now. Her work in Germany revolves around projects that help maintain the database and web interface of AquaMaps, a platform that hosts standardized distribution maps for over 33,500 species of fishes, marine…
Kathleen Kesner-Reyes has a background in anthropology, but she has dedicated most of her professional life to working on marine biodiversity information systems. After spending three years doing fieldwork for the Bolinao Marine Laboratory of the University of the Philippines’ Marine Science Institute, in 1995, she joined the International Center…
“Data-driven approach for highlighting priority areas for protection in marine areas beyond national jurisdiction“, a Marine Policy paper Q-quatics collaborated on is now published online. For this particular work, the AquaMaps Project (Q-quatics) curated modelled data on the contemporary and future distribution under three Representative Concentration Pathway scenarios (RCP 2.6, 4.5…
