CIESM Historic Records of Marine Fauna
The list links to 482 marine species (belonging to nine animal phyla and two algal phyla) records. Each record contains a detailed description of the morphology of the species, its ecological traits, the geographic distribution and bibliographic references. The majority of the species sheets are accompanied by a hand drawing of the species, often including close ups of distinctive morphological characters.

Emphasis is on providing access for the non-specialists. The specialists will (please) forgive us for some taxonomic simplifications.
Within each high level taxon, species are listed in alphabetical order. To access the illustrated species sheet, click on the current name.
