There are an estimated 23,000 varieties of fish, of which about 40% live in the salt water (Salzwasser) of the world's oceans and seas. The other 60% are fresh-water (Süsswasser) varieties. (Only a few types of fish—eel, salmon—can live in both fresh and salt water.) We don't list all 23,000 Fischarten here in our Lexikon, but you'll find many more than in most fish glossaries. This annotated German-English Lexikon is in alphabetical order, by German name. Also see the English-German version.
