An der Universität Tübingen (Institut für Evolution und Ökologie) wird in der AG Nico K. Michiels ein Werkzeug zur Bestimmung von Rifffischen entwickelt:

Reef Fish Trainer

Fast track to become a reef fish specialist

https://uni-tuebingen.de/de/251585

With the Reef Fish Trainer, you can learn names of dozens of common fish species in days, hundreds in weeksbefore getting wet. Our students use it to train themselves before going on field trips to the Red Sea or Indonesia. When immediately recognising so many fish on their first visit to a reef, the self-satisfaction is overwhelming. And those fish that look unfamiliar, are recognised as something worth taking a picture of for further checking.

Derzeit (05.09.24) werden Unterlagen für zwei faunistische Regionen bereitgestellt:

Rotes Meer – „Reef Fish Trainer Red Sea“

Latest full deck version 2023-08-01

Updated version with 1716 pictures of 424 species, mostly from the Egyptian mainland (El Quseir, Mangrove Bay), some from Dahab (Sinai, Egypt), Thuwal (KAUST, Saudi Arabia) and Indonesia and the Philippines for completeness. The latest changes addressed only minor lay-out issues.

Indonesien – „Reef Fish Trainer Indonesia“

This is our 2022 deck with 247 common species. Even if partly outdated, it is still a perfect start to learn Indonesian fish species. Pictures are from Bangka Island (North-Sulawesi), with additional photos from Kri Island (Raja Ampat), Lembeh Strait (North-Sulawesi), Hoga Island (Southeast Sulawesi, Wakatobi) and a few from the Philippines (Cebu).
