SEAMAP Archiving Center |
| Larval fish and fish egg samples, sorted to the lowest taxa
level possible by the Polish Sorting and Identification Center, are returned to the SEAMAP
Archiving Center for archiving and loan to researchers. Data entry for most of the
returned, sorted samples is completed in an improved and simplified SEAMAP DMS. Samples
cataloged to date represent 18 orders, 126 families, 235 genera and 245 species. The SEAMAP Archiving Center, which is managed in conjunction with Fish and Wildlife Research Institute (FMRI) in St. Petersburg, Florida, processes both specimen loans and requests for associated plankton survey environmental data. Seven such requests have been accommodated in the present fiscal year. Currently, the FMRI is in the process of renovating the existing building which houses the SEAMAP Archiving Center, allowing for expansion of the climate-controlled storage area. If you are interested in borrowing any of these samples for your research, please contact Kim Williams at (813) 896-8626 or via e-mail. |
