University of Bergen (2024). Ichthyology Collection, University Museum Bergen, University of Bergen. Version 1.4. Occurrence dataset https://doi.org/10.15468/kvr5bz accessed via GBIF.org on 2024-08-30.Description
The Ichthyological Collection of the University Museum Bergen houses more than 24000 lots. The vast majority of samples is stored in ethanol. The collection has a focus on samples from the Northeast Atlantic, however, it holds specimens of localities from all around the world including fishes from Antarctica and the Mid-Atlantic ridge (Mar-Eco project 2004) being a valuable reference collection for deep-sea species. The collection is still growing taking in new samples mainly in cooperation with the University’s faculty of Biology, the Institute of Marine Research (Norway), and the University of Tromsø for documenting diversity, changes in diversity, first records from hitherto un-sampled regions and re-collection of species represented by aged specimens lacking a tissue sample. DISCLAIMER: The dataset is curated and will receive updates, please always make sure to download the latest version. The provided data is likely not entirely free of errors. If using (parts of) the data, please carefully check datapoints. In doubt, please contact the responsible for further improvement.Sampling Description
