The permanent collection of fishes includes more than 300,000 specimens, with representatives of all major groups of living fishes in the world. The holdings are mainly from the northern Gulf of Mexico, but there are important collections from the Hawaiian Islands, Mexico, Central and South America, Vietnam, Taiwan, Australia, and several island groups in the western Pacific Ocean.
More than 150 research papers, theses, and dissertations have been based wholly, or in part, on the collection of fishes. Thirty-seven graduate students (18 M.S. and 19 Ph.D.) completed degree programs with research based wholly, or in part, on the museum's fish collection.
