Welcome to the home page for the Project. Take a look at What's New in our web.

The Aphanius project is a breeding programme sponsored by Calypso Research, a branch of The Calypso Organization. Its goal is to spawn and raise a range of endangered Aphanius killiefish species in captivity in aquaria; to standardise their breeding requirements in order that the project may be replicated, and to build up sufficient stocks for eventual re-release in to their original habitat where suitable locations still exist

This site is not intended as a repository of online data for Aphanius species, much of which is covered extremely well elsewhere. For data on individual species please follow the links on the Species List page and these will be updated and modified when new data becomes available

What's New

The following is a list of recent additions to our web. Whenever we publish a paper, write a specification, submit a status report, or add anything else to our web, we'll put a notice here. Every month we'll remove the oldest items. The most recent changes are listed first, and each item is linked to the page with the updated content.
