Abstract
The main objective of this database is to compile and publish high-quality, georeferenced information on the distribution of inland fish from the Argentine Republic. It has fields of information of various types: systematic and conservation status (23 fields), geographical (16), literature (12), georeferencing and associated quality (12), and collection (3). It currently has 19,000 records of nearly 550 valid native and 24 exotic species, which were scattered across 800 scientific publications and museum collections. 30% of the records correspond to specimens while the rest of the records are observational.
