Description

The Maizuru Fisheries Research Station of Kyoto University is located in northern Kyoto Prefecture, Japan, on the shore of the Sea of Japan. The research station has been well situated for education and research on many aspects of marine biology, such as the early life history, taxonomy, and systematics of fishes. A large fish collection is housed in the Aquatic Natural History Museum of the research station and has been an important resource for the study of fishes of the world. The fish collection of Kyoto University (FAKU) can be traced back to 1947, when Professor Kiyomatsu Matsubara (1906-1968) was posted to Kyoto University. The collection is housed at both the Maizuru Fisheries Research Station and the Kyoto University Museum (Sakyo, Kyoto). Today, the FAKU fish collection contains more than 300,000 specimens representing more than 3,000 species. The primary objectives of this report are to provide a brief history of Maizuru Fisheries Research Station and to summarize the present status of education and research in natural history based on the FAKU fish collection.
