Records of Texas fishes have been recorded in literature since the mid-1800s and really even before that in the form of the accounts of early explorers. This unfunded sub-project started in 2015 aims to document records from literature focusing first on records we deem of scientific interest. There is much to be done in this regard, but we've started and those can be seen here. (partially in FoTX as part of track3 dataset)

Much of what is known about Texas fishes is stored in the heads of researchers, anglers and the general public - not publicly available. This unfunded project started in 2015 aims to document occurrences as recollected by anyone who cares to submit an observation. To see how go here. To see that dataset go here.

Collectors often keep records of what they see in the field in the form of fieldnotes. Among their observations are occurrence data. We've initiated a project to mine those data and to date have mined most of the records from two prolific collectors, Clark Hubbs and Gary Garrett. Those data are not yet available for the public. (not yet in FoTX database)

- We were funded to compile fish occurrence records from the Rio Grande drainage. That project is complete and a report and data are available here. (all data are in FoTX as part of track3 dataset)
- We are currently funded to compile American Eel Eel (Anguilla rostrata) occurrence records reported from Texas and our neighbor states. Those data are being compiled at the time of this writing, but many are contained in other databases associated with the project mentioned on this page. (partially in FoTX as part of track3 dataset)
