The Division of Fishes of the Museum of Zoology is a research resource and teaching center dedicated to the study of fish evolution, phylogeny, distribution, ecology, and behavior. We have about 3.5 million catalogued specimens which are available for study. The collections are especially rich in specimens from the U.S. and Mexico, but we also have excellent collections from Southeast Asia, Japan, the Neotropics, and Africa. Our current projects include work on cichlids, Asian catfishes, Neotropical characins, and North American diversity patterns and fossils.
