M. Kovačić
Sažetak
In this paper, quantitative and qualitative improvements in the Ichthyological Collection of the Natural History Museum Rijeka in the 1996 to 2006 period are presented. The collection has grown in size six times and now consists of 3866 specimens. The number of species in the collection has risen from 213 to 318. The geographical origins of the samples have significantly expanded. During this period, the collection was increased by exclusively wet preserved preparations accompanied by detailed information about the samples. Now, the collection has the types of two species, seven species samples that represent first findings of these species for a certain zoogeographical area, as well as samples of six species that have been used in other micro-taxonomical analyses. So far, 21 scientific papers about the samples from the Collection were published, while four more papers are currently in press. Also, 3 review papers were written on the basis of this collection
