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.

Museum of Vertebrate Zoology Fish Specimens (Arctos)

The MVZ Fish collection was founded in 2019. It contains fluid-preserved and cleared and stained specimens. Nearly all samples are preserved to enable later DNA extractions. The collection is especially strong in Caribbean and West African fishes. Living collections of Cyprinodon pupfishes and Cameroon crater lake cichlids are also available. The collections are commonly used for genomic sequencing, functional morphology, morphometrics, systematics, course-based undergraduate research experiences, and ecological studies using stomach contents and stable isotope analysis.
