Fiches d’Identification du Zooplancton/ICES Identification Leaflets for Plankton. A set of leaflets for identifying the marine plankton of the north-east Atlantic. The series has been running since 1939 and was made available on the internet in 2004. Many groups are covered, but there are still gaps, and many of the earlier leaflets are now out of date.Newell, G.E. & Newell, R.C., 1973. Marine Plankton - a practical guide. Hutchinson Educational, pub. 244 pp. - Out of print but a useful tool with pen and ink drawing of plankton groups. Best for learning the overall shapes of plankton.
World Register of Marine Species.
Gulf of Maine Register of Marine Species. Developed by The Gulf of Maine Program of the Census of Marine Life, with the Huntsman Marine Science Center of St. Andrews, New Brunswick. This register is a list of species inhabiting Gulf of Maine waters, including those over Georges Bank and the adjacent continental slope. The species span diatoms to marine mammals, with scientific and common names, synonyms, and generally follow the standardized classification and provide the Taxonomic Serial Number of the Integrated Taxonomic Information System.Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS). Authoritative taxonomic information on plants, animals, fungi, and microbes of North America and the world. Find the validity of taxonomic names for most organisms. For each scientific name, ITIS included the authority (author and date), taxonomic rank, associated synonyms and vernacular names where available, a unique taxonomic serial number, data source information (publications, experts, etc.) and data quality indicators.
