The ichthyology collection from the Laboratory of Ichthyology from the Northern Pantanal relies mostly on fish specimens from the Pantanal region, including samples from the Northern Pantanal of Mato Grosso. It also presents specimens representing the Amazon basin of the Southwest region of Mato Grosso. It has relevance in the field of research on ichthyofaunistic inventory, as well as supporting ecological research actions. As it is a new collection, with material from 2011, we have about 150 species, comprising more than 5000 specimens. The objective of the collection is to maintain the total of descripted species in the Pantanal environment, as well as popularize the importance of scientific collections, either for production of knowledge or extension actions with the scientific and local community.
