Grant Description

The object of this project is to process specimens of fishes collected for the San Juan River Recovery Implementation Program, capture all field information into an electronic catalog, and incorporate the SJRIP collections into a phylogenetic system in the permanent museum archives. All of these activities take place in the Division of Fishes, Museum of Southwestern Biology, on the University of New Mexico campus in Albuquerque NM. The MSB Division of Fishes has two offices with a total of five computer workstations for data entry, a fully equipped laboratory for preparation of fish collections, and approximately 1,858 linear meters of compacted shelving for storage of cataloged collections. On average, four UNM students (three undergraduate and one graduate) are employed to process and curate the SJRIP collections.
