About 1 in 3 (30%) species of freshwater fishes belong to a group called cypriniforms, many of which have great economic value and are captured or raised for human consumption, the pet trade, or recreation. The top five fishes used for aquaculture worldwide are cypriniforms. Goals of the All Cypriniformes Species Inventory are to (1) accelerate the rate of discovery and description of cypriniform fishes, (2) improve the understanding of their evolutionary and ecological relationships, (3) make information on cypriniforms readily available via websites, (4) build capacity for research in other countries through student training and long-term collaborations, and (5) make available large numbers of specimens and tissues of freshwater fishes in collections of US and foreign institutions. Given the large numbers of specimens in museums to be examined and the tropical regions to be sampled, it is anticipated that 800-1,000 new species will be described. All Cypriniformes will greatly improve the efficiency of species recognition by developing global collaborations, training US and foreign students, and providing images and databases on project websites. Websites will provide information on species diversity, photos of fishes,guides for identification, and links to related projects. Conservation biologists and fisheries managers depend on accurate identifications and distributional information for prioritizing areas for protection and for making informed management policies. All Cypriniformes will greatly improve taxonomy and accuracy of records through expert identification and georeferencing new and existing data.This project is part of a 10-year effort to digitize and mobilize the scientific information associated with biological specimens held in U.S. research collections. The images and digitized data from this project will be integrated into the online national resource as outlined in the community strategic plan available at http://digbiocol.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/digistratplanfinaldraft.pdf.

大约三分之一（30%）的淡水鱼类属于鲤科鱼类，其中许多具有很大的经济价值，被捕获或饲养用于人类消费，宠物贸易或娱乐。世界上用于水产养殖的前五种鱼类是鲤科鱼类。 所有鲤形目物种目录的目标是（1）加快发现和描述鲤形目鱼类的速度，（2）提高对它们进化和生态关系的理解，（3）通过网站提供有关鲤形目的信息，（4）通过学生培训和长期合作建立其他国家的研究能力，（5）提供大量美国和外国机构收藏的淡水鱼类标本和组织。由于博物馆中有大量标本需要检查，热带地区也需要取样，预计将有800- 1，000个新物种被描述。所有鲤形目将通过发展全球合作，培训美国和外国学生，并在项目网站上提供图像和数据库，大大提高物种识别的效率。网站将提供有关物种多样性的信息、鱼类照片、识别指南以及相关项目的链接。养护生物学家和渔业管理人员依靠准确的识别和分布信息来确定保护区的优先次序和制定明智的管理政策。通过专家鉴定和地理参照新的和现有的数据，所有鲤形目将大大提高分类和记录的准确性。该项目是一项为期10年的努力的一部分，旨在收集和调动与美国研究收藏中的生物标本相关的科学信息。该项目的图像和数字化数据将被纳入在线国家资源，如社区战略计划所述，可在http://digbiocol.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/digistratplanfinaldraft.pdf上查阅。
