Page 5 QLRI-CT-2002-02755 FishTrace INTRODUCTION 1.- Introduction Taxonomy and systematics of most animal species have been described in sufficient detail to permit the classification of practically any organism and, in particular, may be of use in the identification of the species and subspecies for the fish trade and ecological concerns regarding fisheries. However, before FishTrace started there was a lack of fast reference tools that hindered the efficient identification and differentiation of teleosts required in fisheries management, biological and ecological research, and human consumption. This problem could affect several of the socio-economic activities related to Fisheries Policies and therefore, the constitution of a database for identification of fish species of commercial, ecological and zoological interest for the European countries was clearly necessary. Thus, the FishTrace network has catalysed during the last years the pooling of biological material and sequence data corresponding to more than 220 European marine fish species with commercial, ecological and zoological interest. These species have been ad hoc sampled from most European sea areas as well as from some extra-European areas. Moreover, the sampling of species overlapping different geographical areas has allowed the morphological and genetic comparison of specimens from widespread species across the European seas. FishTrace has achieved a critical mass of expertise by joining the efforts of sample collectors, ichthyologists, curators, molecular biologists, and database developers. The workplan was designed to directly confront the problem of reliable fish species identification and differentiation through the creation of a public online database containing a genetic catalogue of marine teleosts which could be used
