Around the world, there are 35.734 fish species (Fricke, Eschmeyer and Fong, 2020). Colombian fishes are nearly 3.706 fish species; representing by 1.215 in the caribean ocean (Polanco and Acero, 2019), 881 in the pacific ocean (Beltran and Tavera, 2019) and 1610 freshwather mainly in the basins of Amazonas and Orinoco rivers (DoNascimiento et al, 2020). The Knowledge about the richness of fishes spieces comes mainly from regional research, monitoring associated with environmental permissions for infrastructure construction of energy projects, field courses and curriculum reports to the community. Witnesses of this diversity are deposited in Biological Collections, usually administered by institutions of higher education or research institutes. In Colombia, Maldonado (2006) reports 20 fishes museums the most important not only for its geographical representation but also by their size are the National Institute of Natural Sciences at the National University of Colombia and the Museum of Alexander von Humboldt Institute.
Ichthyology collection of the University of Antioquia (CIUA) emerged as a repository of specimens collected in several research projects done by the group of Ichthyology (GIUA) since 2002. Initially, became part of the collection of Limnology (CLUA) but in 2008 it was registered in the Alexander von Humboldt Institute Museums database. Since then, (CIUA) is in charge of the curatorship of fish specimens not only from the ichthyologic research at the University of Antioquia but also from other researches, monitoring of consulting firms that deliver the material collected in their work also community donations. Here, we made a report about information contained in CIUA Fish Museum. At the moment, this resource have 7.283 records that have been collected in colombian territory from 1972 to 2020. With a taxonomic coverage of 3 class, 23 orders, 82 families, 193 genus and 337 species.
Sampling Description
Study Extent
Magdalena-Cauca River, Atrato River, Sinú River, San Juan de Urabá River, Rancheria River, Caribbean Sea, Pacific Ocean, Caqueta River and Orinoco River, .Sampling
Fish were caught using various methods; each of them defined according the habitat. In freshwater systems were used electrofishing, cast net throws (0,5-3 cm mesh size), gill nets (1-12 cm, mesh size), bottom trawls (0,5-3 cm, mesh size) and hooks lines (different sizes). In marine systems, we used mainly hook lines and gill nets. Although there was not a general sampling design, most of the samples in freshwater systems were taken in different climatic moments (rains and dry periods)Quality Control
Species of each specimen was determined using specialized literature. All the scientific names of specimens were validated by the updated fish checklist in Catalog of Fishes-California Academy of Sciences (Eschemeyer and Fong, 2016). Most of the specimens are preserved in alcohol 96% and other ones are dry preservation (skeletons). A lot consists of all specimens of a species collected at the same climatic period and place. Each lot contains a paper tag with the main information about date and sampling site such as the Systematic information of the species; all of them are located inside metal cabinets protected from light. Because of the little space to store, lots are organized by a serial number. Data of each specimen (Species, Genera, Family, Order and Class), and date of sampling and collector name were recorded in a excel data set following recommendations of Darwin Core format and in the CIUA Museum Book. Some geographical information is also part of the data set associated to each lot. Some of those are: geographical records, locality name, and altitude. The latitude and longitude of sampling sites were plotted and cleaned using the menu facility of ModestR (García-Roselló et al., 2013) and Georreference protocol of Alexander von Humboldt Institute (Escobar D et al 2014) whit sofware Qgis.Method steps
- Sampling desing.
- Field sampling and environmental description about fish habitat.
- Fish fixation in formaldehide 10%.
- Fish species determination.
- Specimen data record in the data bases (book, DWCore and label).
- Storage in the fish collection.
Taxonomic Coverages
The CIUA fish dataset have a taxonomic coverage of 3 class, 23 orders, 82 families, 193 genus and 337 species. There is a 83.22% classifed to the species level, 16.27% to genus and 0.51% to family. The most abundant orders are Characiformes (3.144) and Siluriformes (3.022).

Geographic Coverages
The CIUA Fish Museum is a regional museum covering mostly Colombian Andean region. Department of Antioquia is the most significant political division with 365 sampling localities, 4.148 records and 17.835 specimens.
Most of the records in CIUA database come from marine and freshwater aquatic systems in the northwestern Colombia. This dataset have information from the coastal line of the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea and from seven river basins: Magdalena-Cauca, Meta, San Juan de Urabá, Sinú and Atrato. Most of the records come from freshwater systems (98.49%); mainly from creeks and rivers (74.74%). Altitudinally, specimens in CIUA were collected between 0 and 3486 m.a.s.l.
There are 3 international records, 2 from Venezuela and 1 from Zambia.
