I have performed some work to improve and expand the portal, and to also streamline it a bit. See below for a summary. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 00:16, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• I removed the "nominations" links from the main portal page and tagged the Portal:Fish/Nominations page as ((historical)). The page has not been edited for over ten yeaers, so it's safe to say that the process has become outdated.
• Overhauled portal with modernized wiki markup using transclusion from articles to display content, which provides readers with current, up-to-date information that is verbatim to that in articles. A consensus approving the usage of transclusion templates in portals was formed at this Village Pump discussion, which was closed on 28 December 2019 (UTC). In this process, articles listed at Portal:Fish/Selected article and Portal:Fish/Selected fish are now listed directly on the main portal page.
• More recognized article selections have been added, (FA- and GA-class articles). Additional articles were also added to round-out the portal to provide a more comprehensive topical overview.
• The following articles are presently displayed in the portal.

• Feel free to discuss the portal, the article selections, etc. here.
• Additional articles for the portal can be considered from those available in the table listed below.
