Welcome to �鶹��Ƶ' Fish Collection!

Much of the original Biology Department fish collection (specimens and field notebooks) was destroyed in the tornado of 1998. As a result, many of the specimens now only exist as 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. A small portion of the current collection includes specimens from a permanent loan from the University of Washington.

Of the 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.
