University of Kansas Ichthyology collection
contains more than 750,000 specimens of fishes from around the world and
is the basis of the research and educational activities of the Division
of Ichthyology. The collection has an emphasis on fishes of the central
United States but also has significant collections from 73 countries including Ecuador, Nepal,
and various marine localities. The division has both morphological research
facilities and a molecular systematics laboratory. The frozen
tissue collection, which complements the molecular systematics laboratory,
continues to expand rapidly and has broad representation of both marine
and freshwater fish diversity. The collections and the scope of research
activities in the division continue to grow due to the ongoing activities
of Ichthyology staff and students.
