NHMD Ichthyology Collection

The collection of fishes is one of the more important of the large, old collections in Europe, going back to Forsskåls Fish Herbarium from 1761-1767.The fish collection holds about one third of the 35,000 known species of fishes. Both fresh- and saltwater species from all over the world are represented. Some 250,000 specimens are registered. Especially rich collections come from the Danish marine expeditions "Ingolf", "Dana", "Atlantide" and "Galathea". The collection has plentiful material from Danish waters and former colonies such as Greenland and West Indies.

该鱼类馆藏是欧洲规模宏大且历史悠久的馆藏之一，其历史可追溯至1761至1767年间的福斯考尔鱼类标本馆（Forsskål Fish Herbarium）。该馆藏涵盖了已知35000种鱼类中的约三分之一，囊括了全球范围内的淡水与海水鱼类物种，登记在册的标本共计约25万件。馆藏的丰富样本尤其源自丹麦的“英格尔夫号（Ingolf）”、“达纳号（Dana）”、“亚特兰蒂德号（Atlantide）”以及“加拉特亚号（Galathea）”海洋考察队。此外，该馆藏还藏有大量取自丹麦海域以及格陵兰、西印度群岛等丹麦前殖民地海域的标本材料。
