Texas Memorial Museum
Exhibits: Hall of Texas Wildlife
Fishes of Texas
This newly renovated exhibit highlights freshwater
fishes in Texas and their place in our world. The exhibit includes profiles of
freshwater-fish species in Texas, discussions of fish diversity, and a look at
how fish fit into our lives and environment. Through multimedia displays,
underwater photographs, and Texas Natural Science Center specimens, visitors gain an appreciation of
the diversity and value of Texas fishes.
The
exhibit is a preliminary part of a multiyear research project that will finally
consolidate all of the known scientific information on the freshwater fishes of Texas. The Fishes of
Texas Project is a collaboration of the Texas Natural Science Center at The University
of Texas at Austin, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, and The University
of Texas-Pan American.
