Abstract: This data source pertains to the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory's (MAGNT) Ichthology (fish) collections. The MAGNT collections place the region's art, history and culture, and natural history in an Australian and international context through research, interpretation and collection development. The MAGNT collections consist of over 30 000 items of art and craft and material culture, and an estimated 1.2 million natural history specimens. These collections are a permanent record of the history, artistic diversity, biological wealth and natural and cultural heritage of the Northern Territory and the region. MAGNT provides data to the Online Zoological Collections of Australian Museums (OZCAM) and from there to OBIS Australia and OBIS.
