Fish Information and Services (FIS) is a commercial online provider of information for the fishing industry. Founded in 1995, it provides wide ranging information on fishing, seafood, and aquaculture. The site currently gets around 330,000 views per month and is currently available three languages: English, Japanese and Spanish. According to Alexa, FIS receives over twice as much traffic as its competitors (IntraFish and Seafood Source) and this excludes the traffic from FIS Japan. [1] This has been credited mainly due to the fact that FIS appeals to a more international audience (due to the languages offered) and the content of the site as well as the features such as the trading market which don't appear on the other sites.
