Hi Hugo, You can get a lot of standardised specimen images from GBIF. Many museums contribute specimen data, including photos, so you just have to set your search filter to Basis of record -> Preserved specimen (plus Scientific Name and whatever other filters you are interested in). Fossil images are also an option. You can likewise download all the specimen data linked to the images that may be of interest to your student in terms of relationship to shape/size.
For example, here are fish images from the Yale Peabody Museum uploaded to GIBF https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/gallery?dataset_key=96419bea-f762-11e1-a439-00145eb45e9a There is also FishBase, but as far as I can tell it’s mostly underwater photography. I hope that helps! Best, Christy On 8 Oct 2020, at 3:59 pm, Hugo Benítez <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: UoM notice: External email.

Due to I`ve not very much knowledge in fishes, I decided to come to Morphomet asking you if you can recommend me some image dataset of fishes where he can find good images of fishes with scale ideally which he can download and work on it. Many thanks in advance for any information. Best regards Hugo -- Dr. Hugo A.
