Biological collections

The SAHFOS Reference Collection is constituted of extraordinary specimens of plankton organised by species and is maintained for identification and taxonomic purposes. This collection contains 325 specimens in individual tubes. As part of the “Laboratory on the Hoe” project, the SAHFOS Reference Collection will be photographed in full thereby creating a complete photographic record of the specimens for future taxonomic work. A selection of these images is available in this gallery.
