The Canadian Register of Marine Species photo gallery: A user's guide

Abstract

The Canadian portal of the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) hosts taxonomic information specific to aquatic regions in Canada. A user-contributed photogallery serves to complement the taxonomic records for Canadian regions with digital images of species. Images are also viewed by partner registers and species portals around the world. This guide will assist users with the preparation of images and related data to be uploaded to the photogallery, thereby ensuring correct species names and author credit, and facilitate discovery and browsing of taxonomic entries using this public web resource
