Brief description

This collection is a set of images of specimens held at the Australian National Fish Collection (ANFC).

The ANFC is a resource for many fields of science, providing a record of diversity prior to, and during recent large-scale human impacts, such as fishing and climate change.

Our specimens provide the physical evidence of a species occurring in a specific place at a specific time. We hold more than 160,000 fish specimens representing 3,700 species.

Scientists from around the world can view specimen images online or visit the collection and borrow material for examination and to make comparisons with fauna from other regions. This may lead to the recognition and description of new species, as well as an improved understanding of where species occur now and where they have occurred in the past.

Lineage: This dataset is one of a series holding images from the Australian National Fish Collection. These images were taken through ongoing imaging of the physical specimen collection, and this grouping of images is arbitrary based on the time period the images were taken, it is not a comprehensive list of all the specimens available in a taxon.

As such, this dataset may not include all images from a particular taxon and we recommend the specimen image file search which can be used to search across the image datasets to find all images from a specific taxon.
