Welcome to the CSUS Fish Collection

The CSUS fish collection is a small, but diverse, collection of fishes, totaling some 2722 lots. Specimens are stored in 50% isopropyl alcohol.

Most of the specimens are catalogued by lot number. The Museum also contains a separate small teaching collection of uncatalogued specimens, used for situations where the specimens may get damaged, e.g. for students learning to identify fishes. This collection concentrates on California fishes.

Access to the collection is possible by contacting the Curator: Dr. Ron Coleman 916-278-3474; rcoleman@csus.edu
