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.

该项目将把鱼类的西南生物学博物馆（新墨西哥州大学）搬迁到新的设施，重组收集并验证标本记录，检查和补充酒精浓度，将收藏品从异丙醇转移到乙醇，并完整的策划和计算机化。 该系列包括200万个幼虫和成年鱼类，代表了西南部的危机。 收藏包括60年的历史，并详细说明了里奥格兰德河和科罗拉多河上的鱼类社区的自然和人为障碍。 收集改进将增强对数据，信息和收集记录的研究访问，并在更大，更好的存储空间中稳定收集。
