| Abstract |
bioSearch is a database application developed to digitize marine biodiversity of Indian coastal waters. A user can obtain information on organism's binomial and common names, synonyms, taxonomy, morphology, ecology, economic importance, geographical distribution, images and reference literature. As on date 25 September 2013 bioSearch manages 19,760 records. It should be noted that the database is continuously being validated and updated. In this article we discuss structure, working and salient features of bioSearch (www.biosearch.in). |
