The Cichlid Room Companion
The Cichlid Room Companion (CRC), and its sister web site The Freshwater Fishes of Mexico (FFM),〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Main Index - The Freshwater Fishes of Mexico )〕 are non-scientific〔Kullander, Sven O. "Nomenclatural availability of putative scientific generic names applied to the South American cichlid fish Apistogramma ramirezi Myers & Harry, 1948 (Teleostei: Cichlidae). 2011. Zootaxa 3131: 35-51.〕〔18 Midgley, D. (N/D) New cichlid names. Sydney Cichlid Aquarium Pages. http://www.sydneycichlid.com/cichlid-names.htm visited on the 10 of December, 2014.〕 in the sense of non-peer-reviewed, membership-based webpages, dedicated to the fishes of the Cichlid family and the freshwater fishes of Mexico respectively. The CRC offers one of the most comprehensive, non-authoritative, catalogues of cichlids in the web, which is illustrated with more than 13.655 photographs and 243 videos〔Why subscribe to the Cichlid Room Companion? (2015) The Cichlid Room Companion. http://www.cichlidae.com/membership.php visited 01/19/2014〕 of cichlids and their habitats. It also “offers access to information about 124 full genera and 825 full species profiles”, a discussion forum,〔Cichlid Room Companion, Discussion Forum, http://www.cichlidae.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=29〕 as well as various articles about fishkeeping, field accounts and collecting expeditions; mostly written by citizen scientists, personalities of the fish trade, researchers and aquarists in the cichlid hobby. The site is administered by its creator and editor, Juan Miguel Artigas-Azas, a naturalist, whom is also an aquarist〔ACA Club Speaker Juan Miguel Artigas Azas (2013) American Cichlid Association. http://www.cichlid.org/phpbb3/19/19208〕 and a notorious nature photographer. He is also the “curator” of most of the fish summaries that appear in the profiles of both sites. In 2008, the American Cichlid Association (ACA) awarded Artigas-Azas the Guy Jordan Retrospective Award, which is the maximum honor that association gives to people who have done extensive contributions to the International Cichlid Hobby.〔
According to FreeWebsiteReport.org, the CRC has been in business since 05-Sep-1996. As of November, 2014, it received 1.019 daily page views. The page is most popular in the United States, with 47.3% of its users from that country. It has an Alexa World Rank #1,079,009 and Google Pagerank 4/10.〔http://www.freewebsitereport.org/www.cichlidae.com〕
==Contributions to public understanding of Science==
In the past decade, the Internet has fundamentally transformed the relationships between the scientific community and society as a whole, as the boundaries between public and private, professionals and hobbyists fade away; allowing for a wider range of participants to engage with science in unprecedented ways.〔Grand, A., Wilkinson, C., Bultitude, K., & Winfield, A. F. (2014). Mapping the hinterland: Data issues in open science. Public Understanding of Science, 0963662514530374〕 The educational and citizens science task of the CRC has been acknowledged in the formal scientific literature, both as source of data, information and awareness among fish hobbyists about topics like the threat of releases of invasive species from domestic aquaria, as well as promoting ethical behavior in the fish hobby.〔Maceda‐Veiga, A., Domínguez‐Domínguez, O., Escribano‐Alacid, J., & Lyons, J. (2014). The aquarium hobby: can sinners become saints in freshwater fish conservation?. Fish and Fisheries〕 Furthermore, while for the most part, the CRC is a popular resource, a number of articles in it have some academic value, and have been cited as primary sources in the scholarly literature.〔〔Oldfield, R. G., Mandrekar, K., Nieves, M. X., Hendrickson, D. A., Chakrabarty, P., Swanson, B. O., & Hofmann, H. A. Parental care in the Cuatro Ciénegas cichlid, Herichthys minckleyi (Teleostei: Cichlidae). Hydrobiologia, 1-25〕〔De La Maza-Benignos, M., & Lozano-Vilano, M. L. (2013). Description of three new species of the genus Herichthys (Perciformes: Cichlidae) from eastern Mexico, with redescription of H. labridens, H. steindachneri, and H. pantostictus.
