About EveryFish

EveryFish is a free guide: every fish species in the world. It has pages on 151 fish so far and 1,047 more on the list to be written, with India as one strong thread among many.

The aim is simple: anyone should be able to look up any fish and come away knowing what it is, who made or runs it, where, when, how big it is, and why it matters.

How it is arranged

Every fish is filed by kinds of fish, where they live, fish and people, how they are doing, by size, by families, by region and country, and by date on the timeline and on this day. Fish places describe the places where the industry clusters, the calendar follows its conferences and anniversaries, and the concepts explain the words.

Pictures and drawings

Photos come from Wikimedia Commons under free licences, each credited beside it. Where there is no free photo, a drawing made by EveryFish's own code from what the page says stands in. The drawings are diagrams, not pictures of the real thing. No image on EveryFish is made by an AI image generator.

How a page is made

Names and facts come from Wikidata and Wikipedia. The text is written afresh with AI assistance from those sources only: the facts are kept, the wording is ours. Every page is then compared with its source article, and a page that repeats a run of the article's words is rewritten or held back. Each page names its source and links to it and to its licence. A page is published only if it has enough to say; anything that falls short waits for a person to review it.

What EveryFish is not

It is not a shop, a price list, a benchmark or a ranking. It is not investment, buying or engineering advice. It does not take money to change what a page says.

Who is behind it

EveryFish is published by ClearTrust, a company that measures traffic quality for the advertising industry. ClearTrust pays for EveryFish and keeps it free. EveryFish is part of the ClearTrust IVT-Free Publication Network. IVT stands for invalid traffic: visits from bots and other fakes, which the network's sites are screened for. Sponsored placements are always labelled.
