Summary:
The fish collection of the National Museum of Natural History, NAS of Ukraine was founded in 1961 by Yu. V. Movchan and gradually enriched by scientific materials, mainly due to expeditions of the museum’s researchers within Ukraine and abroad. As of this writing , it consists of 153 388 specimens of cyclostomes and fishes. A part of the collection was received as gift from other scientific institutions and organizations, including foreign ones, or as a result of scientific exchange. The ichthyological collection contains materials collected long before its foundation, namely at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. There are famous scientists among the authors of this assembly, such as М. І. Yankovskyi, L. S. Berg, F. А. Derbek, О. І. Cherskyi, V. К. Soldatov, P. P. Sushkin, S. Ya. Paramonov, V. О. Karavaiev etc. By now, there is no reliably information on how these materials ended up in the collection, however their presence yet again empahsizes the collection’s historical importance and the status of National Heritage.
