Fish And Marine Life Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

Last full accuracy audit: 2026-09-07 · 5 entries checked · 3 flagged · 5 issues confirmed · 3 corrected · 2 still open

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Skate (fish) — The claim that skates have paired electric organs running longitudinally through the tail, producing weak, asynchronous signals, is not accurate for all skates; only some species possess electric organs, and they are not a universal feature of the family Rajid

Abalone — The distribution statement incorrectly claims abalone occur along the Pacific coast of northern South America; the southern limit of Haliotis in the eastern Pacific is Baja California, Mexico.

Abalone — The entry states the earliest known fossil abalone are from the Campanian age, but older Cretaceous fossils (e.g., from the Albian or Cenomanian) exist, making the 'earliest known' claim inaccurate.

Acanthuridae — The entry states 'In the early 1900s, this family was called Hepatidae.' This is incorrect; the family was historically called Hepatidae in the 1800s, not the early 1900s.

Acanthuridae — The entry lists 'Frigosorbinia' as an Eocene genus from Monte Bolca. This name is not a validly described genus in the known fossil record of Acanthuridae; the correct known genera do not include it.
