Welcome to 鶹Ƶ' Fish Collection!
Much of the contents of the original Biology Department fish collections were destroyed in the tornado of 1998. As a result, many of the specimens now only exist as part of a teaching collection serving a variety of aquatic and vertebrate courses at 鶹Ƶ including Aquatic Biology, Vertebrate Biology, Comparative Anatomy, and Fish and Fisheries. Of all species diversity in the collection, an estimated 40% is shown here. Thirteen families of freshwater fish and several families of marine fish are represented in the collection. Within each family the individual specimens are sorted alphabetically by scientific name. Specimens are shown on a cm scale. Any available collection data is provided with each specimen. Finally, each specimen has a link to a corresponding page in , the most comprehensive fish database in the world.
The specimens in this collection are used by several classes at 鶹Ƶ, .
