The Aquatic Animal Pathogen and Quarantine Information System (AAPQIS) is a collection of scientific literature, detailing global occurrence of pathogens and diseases of aquatic animals. The system includes mapping and regional cross-referencing tools to help in prevention and spread of pathogens and diseases. Since this information is derived from the scientific literature, as well as a team of established experts in different fields of aquatic animal health, it can be adapted for use by national governments for establishing national systems for disease reporting and tracking, as well as for reference information for aquatic animal health diagnosticians
and academia.

This site also contains a section specific to ASEAN - the Invasive Alien Species (IAS) site has been developed to assist ASEAN countries in understanding aquatic invasive alien species (aquatic IAS) so that the benefits from appropriate use of alien species in fisheries and aquaculture can be maximized and the risks that they pose can be managed.

ReefBase is the world's premier online information system on coral reefs, and provides information services to coral reef professionals involved in management, research, monitoring, conservation and education.

ReefBase gathers available knowledge about coral reefs into one information repository. It is intended to facilitate analyses and monitoring of coral reef health and the quality of life of reef-dependent people, and to support informed decisions about coral reef use and management. ReefBase is the official database of the Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network (GCRMN), as well as the International Coral Reef Action Network (ICRAN). The ReefBase Project is housed at the WorldFish Center in Penang, Malaysia, with funding through ICRAN from the United Nations Foundation (UNF).
