To request information on our collection holdings or to request a loan of fish collection holdings, please contact the collection's curator via e-mail.

We evaluate loan requests based on the potential impact of the planned investigation.  To make this assessment, loan request must be supported by information on the goals of the study that requires the materials requested, a timeline to production of study results and the qualifications of the personnel participating in the research.  Loan requests from institutions that do not mantain research collections also require a description of the recipients experience and ability to properly manage, preserve and return fish research collection specimens.
