The extand of nformation on the biology of all known species of Tor in FishBase www.fishbase.org a large information system on fish containing about 29,500 species and subspecies, is presented. The information gaps are analysed to search for complimentary information and eventually provide aid in the identification of research priorities for conservation and management of Tor spp. The present analysis reveals that information on various life-history parameters such as maturity, spawning, eggs, larvae, trophic ecology and population dynamics are poorly recorded in FishBase, although at least 170 important mainly secondary references from 1916 to 2005 are used for these species. A call for collaboration to create a complete information system on Tor spp based on FishBase and draft snapshots of a possible portal are presented.
