        <abstract>
            <para>The APSU David Snyder Museum of Zoology (DSMZ) houses a rapidly growing, research quality collection of over 6,200 lots and 42,000 specimens of fishes from the Mid-south Region. The majority of specimens are from Tennessee, Kentucky and surrounding states, encompassing the most diverse fish faunas of the US. In 2016, APSU acquired the Tennessee collections of the SIUC Fish Collection. This acquisition greatly expanded the diversity and size of our holdings and provided a home for the abandoned SIUC collection. Additionally, the APSU fish collection is a repository of specimens for the Tennessee Valley Authority and Kentucky Division of Wildlife Resources, other state agencies, and researchers.</para>

                <para>When there is funding for a collections manager or a collections assistant (graduate student) the collection data is regularly maintained with any new incoming records being processed and cataloged as quickly as possible by collection staff. In the absence of funding, the data are maintained as regularly as possible on the good will of experienced volunteers.</para>
