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.

该项目将把西南生物学博物馆（新墨西哥州大学）鱼类部门搬迁到一个新的设施，重新组织收集和核实标本记录，检查和补充酒精浓度，将收集物从异丙醇转移到乙醇，并完成收集物的管理和计算机化。 该系列包括200万条幼鱼和成鱼，代表了美国西南部濒临灭绝的鱼类。 收集涵盖了60年的历史，并提供了一个详细的自然和人为干扰对鱼类群落的格兰德河和科罗拉多河。 收集的改进将加强研究对数据、信息和收集记录的访问，并在更大更好的存储空间中稳定收集。
