        UW Fish collection-

UW Fish Collection
As part of their Outreach Program, the Fish Collection hosts tours (FREE of charge). 
The tours are available to any age group and any time of the year. The maximum group size is 25 students. 
The tour normally takes about 1.5-2.0 hours and consists of two parts. The first part involves a tour
 of our facilities where we prepare, catalog, archive, and conduct research on our museum holdings
 that total nearly 130,000 jars and vials, and roughly 3,500 species, of preserved fish specimens. 
You will see how a natural history collection of this magnitude is arranged and managed, 
in addition to learning about its importance and its uses.
The second part of the tour involves a "hands-on" look at some of the more interesting examples of fish diversity.
 Fishes are the most diverse group of vertebrates (the large group of animals to which we belong),
 with roughly 25,000 living and fossil species formally described by science. During the course of history,
 fishes have evolved a remarkable array of body shapes and behavior, and have radiated into nearly all aquatic habitats.
 Using our teaching collection of preserved specimens, they show you, and allow you to handle many interesting and
 unusual fishes from around the world and discuss the evolutionary adaptive significance of their morphology.
The maximum group size that can be accommodated is 25 people. This size limit includes teachers and parents. 
Larger classes can be split into two tours. Reservations are required and should be made well in advance 
by calling Katherine Maslenikov, 
Collection Manager, at (206) 543-3816 or by contacting her via e-mail (pearsonk@u.washington.edu ).
