The USM Museum of Ichthyology is an invaluable resource for students and researchers interested in ichthyology. The museum currently contains more than 30,000 lots and 500,000 specimens representing over 700 taxa. While most of the collection contains fishes from the southeastern US, efforts are underway to add a number of unique collections from Honduras.
