I am interested in information on a CD-ROM database called FishBase.  I
understand that it was produced by ICLARMS but did not find any other
details.  Does anyone have any further details on this product?  Where can I
obtain it?  How much does it cost?  Are there any demos available?  Also, if
anyone has used FishBase and  could provide comments on its use, that would
be great!

Thanks,

I am not sure if FishBase is already available. But there is another
recent database that might interest you:  

SPECIESDAB: Global Species Database for Fishery Purposes
FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations). 

You can order the disks (I don't know if they also distribute the program 
in form of CD-ROM) sending a request to:

FAO - Publications Division, Distribution and Sales Section
Viale delle Terme di Caracalla, 00100 Roma, Italia
