Blog / Modern wildlife conservation is increasingly data-driven. Institutions responsible for animals under human care generate vast volumes of information daily, including medical records, husbandry logs, behavioural observations, lineage updates, transfers, and regulatory documentation. Individually, these records support local operational management. Collectively, when structured and aggregated, they form the backbone of global species databases. The […]

Blog / Health and breeding outcomes are central measures of success for aquariums involved in conservation and long-term species management. Achieving positive outcomes depends on more than expertise and experience alone. It requires accurate information, shared understanding, and the ability to learn from past decisions. This case study explores how digital information management supports better

Blog / Aquatic animal care has always relied on close observation, specialist knowledge, and careful record keeping. For decades, much of that information lived in notebooks, binders, whiteboards, or disconnected spreadsheets. While these methods reflected the realities of their time, they also limited how information could be shared, analysed, and preserved. As aquariums take on

Blog / Aquatic species management is one of the most complex areas of zoological care. Aquariums are responsible for maintaining healthy populations, supporting research, and contributing to conservation, all while managing animals that often live in groups, move between life stages, and respond quickly to environmental change. These realities place significant demands on how information

Blog / Aquariums play a vital role in caring for aquatic species, supporting conservation, and advancing scientific understanding. Managing this responsibility depends on access to accurate, consistent, and long-term animal information. ZIMS for Aquatics supports aquarium animal care by providing a structured way to record, manage, and interpret aquatic animal data across institutions and over
