The U.S. National Science Foundation and iDigBio are required to collect information on use of digitized collections-based specimen data. Please help us meet this requirement every time you use this search portal. Sustainability of the national digitization effort depends on evidence of data use! Maybe later.

The APSU David Snyder Museum of Zoology (DSMZ) houses a rapidly growing, research quality collection of over 6,200 lots and 42,000 specimens of fishes from the Mid-south Region. The majority of specimens are from Tennessee, Kentucky and surrounding states, encompassing the most diverse fish faunas of the US. In 2016, APSU acquired the Tennessee collections of the SIUC Fish Collection. This acquisition greatly expanded the diversity and size of our holdings and provided a home for the abandoned SIUC collection. Additionally, the APSU fish collection is a repository of specimens for the Tennessee Valley Authority and Kentucky Division of Wildlife Resources, other state agencies, and researchers.
