Sealife guideThe taxonomy of marine species

Find all data related to our sea plants as well as our sea animals listed according to the phylogenetic tree, with the name of the phylum to which they belong, the class, the order, the family, the common name and to finish the scientific name itself made by the genus name followed by the specie name !
In opposite to common names, the scientific name is unique and same whatever the language. Thus it provides a unique name to make sure people are referring to the same marine specie. This is not the case with common names.
