INSTITUTIONS

 

 

Hereafter is a list, arranged by alphabetical code (but sortable by any headline), of selected scientific Institutions that hold types or significant collections of oviparous and viviparous Cyprinodont fishes. Their code corresponds to those officials labels that are preceding type numbers in the type series of the database. Rather recently, Sabaj has issued a full list of world Institutions that, after several revisions and regular updates, is considered as the golden standard at ASIH

At the end of this page, another table shows the scientific magazines with regular publications on Killifish and online abstracts : direct ACCESS.
