The needs for care, growth and use of collections of the                   ontogenetic stages of fishes--especially the early life stages or               ichthyoplankton--have increased enormously in caliber and                       magnitude over the past few decades, largely because fish eggs                  and larvae have been central to solving some of the perplexing                  problems in fisheries biology, environmental and ecological                     analyses, and systematic studies.  Examples of important studies                based on larval fishes include estimating the spawning biomass of               commercially important fishes, analyzing sensitive habitats to                  assess ecological and environmental impacts, and studying the                   development, relationships and evolution of fishes.                                  This project will support the establishment and initial                    development of a significant new larval fish depository at the                  Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County.  Specific goals are               to accession and catalog already identified specimens; to                       identify several backlog collections of fish larvae; to develop                 improved identification procedures for larval fishes; and to                    begin the installation of a computerized collection management                  system.
