Ichthyological Collection of the Science Museum, University of Coimbra, Portugal

The collection documents ichthyofaunal diversity from Europe (Portugal), Africa, South America and Asia, with specimens dating mainly from the nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century. The dataset was compiled through a collection inventory, digitization and taxonomic revision initiated in 2007 and updated in 2026.

Catalog numbers and scientific names were standardized, and taxonomic identifications were checked against current nomenclatural resources, including FishBase and the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS). The records support research in ichthyology, taxonomy, biodiversity, history and the study of natural history collections.
