The Fish Department - Fieldwork
Staff of the Fish Section occasionally participate in fieldwork. Trips range in length from a day up to six weeks and cover localities as close to home as Sydney Harbour, or as far afield as French Polynesia, Vanuatu or Madagascar. These pages show images from some of the fieldwork undertaken over the last few years.
The majority of the fishes are collected for research purposes but occassionally specimens are collected as part of commercial work, or for use in the preparation of the Museum's exhibitions. All specimens collected are entered into the collection database and incorporated into the research collection. Specimens in the collection are used in research programs by scientists in many countries around the world.
