For all you biologists out there, I am posting as a computer scientist
with only hobby interests in ichthyology. I am interested in eventually
trying to breed marine tropicals and would like to know how one goes about
doing a literature search on a species, or better yet, how one identifies
a given specimen in the first place, given only a local common name that
varies every 10 miles.
Please enlighten me as to the normal procedure one goes through in finding
out what has been written about a specific kind of fish. Is there somewhere
a universal catalog of species, or is there simply a disorganized literature
with articles appearing in various journals in an ad hoc fashion.
I am interested in any kind of info, including journals of the field, good
books, well-known experts in the field, etc.
