Description

The Ichthyology Collection consists of over 26,000 cataloged lots of fishes, primarily from the Great Plains. Because of recent contracts with both state and federal wildlife agencies, this collection is rapidly growing and has become a major regional depository for Great Plains fishes. At this time, no tissue samples are available.
