The Fish Aggregation Database (FAD) is maintained by the Science and Conservation of Fish Aggregations group (SCRFA). Its goal is to establish a basis for related planning, education and research, and for identifying conservation and management needs.

The present page is a first link between FishBase and the SCRFA/FAD to enrich both databases. Please notify us of any discrepancy you would find between FAD and other parts of FishBase. FAD will be updated twice a year in FishBase.

Further information can be found on the fields / parameters in the original database, and on some statistics.
