The last type catalogue for the fish collection of the CeNak was published 10 years ago (Thiel et al. 2009). Since then, taxonomic revisions and descriptions of new fish species have led to changes, so that the publication of a current type catalog for the fish collection of the CeNak has become necessary. In addition, photos and x-rays of the type specimens are made in the framework of this project, which will also be made available for online research in the collection database of the department of ichthyology (http://fishcollection.rrz.uni-hamburg.de/frm_suche.php).
