説明

The history and current status of the fish collection at the Australian Museum are briefly reviewed. The oldest surviving specimen in the fish collection is a surgeonfish collected on 17 December 1858. The fish collection has increased from 470 recorded specimens in 1859, to 1,200,035 specimens in March 2004. The first ichthyologist at the Australian Museum was G. Krefft who commenced employment in 1860, followed in sequence by E. Ramsay, J. Ogilby, E. Waite, A. McCulloch, G. Whitley, F. Talbot and J. Paxton. Currently there are two ichthyologists and a collection manager working at the museum, D. Hoese, J. Leis and M. McGrouther, respectively. The relationships between collection growth and the careers of all the ichthyologists are also provided. The historical changes of collection management methods are described. The current database structure and data content, including quality codes of specimen identification, locality origin and locality precision, are given. An example of a label stored with registered specimens is figured. Australian national and international fish database networks and mapping systems are also mentioned. In addition, a comparison of the number of species registered at the Australian Museum with that of other major museums worldwide indicates that the former has the largest number of species (ca. 7,100 species). Number of registered specimens in the other six major Australian collections are provided for comparative purposes. Differences between Australian and Japanese ichthyology are discussed. Furthermore, staff, students and volunteers of the Australian Museum Fish Section and their research interests and work duties are also briefly introduced.
