Description

The APSU David Snyder Museum of Zoology (DSMZ) houses a rapidly growing, research quality collection of over 6,200 lots and 42,000 specimens of fishes from the Mid-south Region. The majority of specimens are from Tennessee, Kentucky and surrounding states, encompassing the most diverse fish faunas of the US. In 2016, APSU acquired the Tennessee collections of the SIUC Fish Collection. This acquisition greatly expanded the diversity and size of our holdings and provided a home for the abandoned SIUC collection. Additionally, the APSU fish collection is a repository of specimens for the Tennessee Valley Authority and Kentucky Division of Wildlife Resources, other state agencies, and researchers.

Purpose

Students have been engaged in collection science and research through the DSMZ and its curators since its inception and these libraries play a valuable role in teaching, research, and outreach for APSU, the broader scientific community, and the general public.
