Improvements to the Museum of Southwestern Biology (MSB) Fish Collection, Phase I: Relocation and Reorganization

该项目将把西南生物博物馆(新墨西哥大学)鱼类分部搬迁到一个新的设施，重新整理收藏品并核实标本记录，检查和补充酒精浓度，将收藏品从异丙醇转移到乙醇，并完成收藏品的管理和计算机化。该藏品包括200万条幼鱼和成鱼，代表了美国西南部濒临灭绝的鱼类动物群。收藏品涵盖了60年的历史，详细描述了自然和人为干扰对格兰德河和科罗拉多河鱼类群落的影响。馆藏改进将加强对数据、信息和馆藏记录的研究访问，并将馆藏稳定在更大更好的存储空间中。

This project will relocate the Museum of Southwestern Biology (University of New Mexico) Division of Fishes to a new facility, reorganize the collection and verify specimen records, check and replenish alcohol concentration, transfer collections from isopropanol to ethanol, and complete curation and computerization of the collection. The collection comprises 2 million larval and adult fishes, representing the imperiled ichthyofauna of the southwestern US. Collections encompass a 60 year history and provide a detailed account of natural and anthropogenic disturbances on fish communities on the Rio Grande and Colorado rivers. Collection improvements will enhance research access to data, information, and collection records, and stabilize the collection in a larger and better storage space.
