Educational biology and modern aquaristics

The editorial team of AquaPortail, the aquatic portal

in French in Spanish
The editorial content (excluding the Forum) of the terra-aquatic portal AquaPortail is written exclusively by professionals or recognized specialists in their respective fields of aquarium keeping or biology. Every day, AquaPortail's authors and editors strive to create and improve original, high-quality information, completely independent of any other media outlet, with integrity.

Prior to publication, every species profile, encyclopedic (or simplified) definition, guide, article, or news piece undergoes review by the authors (as well as post-publication feedback from readers), with any updates marked with a revision date. The editor-in-chief provides the final level of verification for all published information.

The authors (physicians, veterinarians, aquariologists, dedicated hobbyists and specialists, etc.) all possess solid academic backgrounds and/or extensive practical experience within the AquaPortail team.

AquaPortail's charter and terms of use are available online.

To contact the editorial team and the founder, a contact form is available online.
