We maintain a teaching collection of several thousand specimens representing over a hundred fish families. Students examine, compare and learn to identify these during our Systematics of Fishes (FW316) and Ichthyology (FW315) courses. Recent digitization projects have virtualized many of these specimens in two and three dimensions, thereby allowing students enrolled in face-to-face, remote and online versions of these classes to access them and learn from anywhere in the world at any time of day.
You can read more about our approach to teaching ichthyology online using a virtual specimen collection in our recent publication in Ichthyology and Herpetology.
By clicking on these models, you can rotate and view them in any direction.
