In many cases Fishes of Texas staff edited the donor-provided data but the original verbatim data from donor institutions are displayed alongside the edited version in the online record views. Users should review the verbatim data before analyses. University of Texas and the Fishes of Texas project take no responsibility for misuse of data provided by this website. Furthermore, since all data come initially from donor institutions and are continually subject to the possibility of revision by the donor in their independent databases subsequent to inclusion in the Fishes of Texas database, it is highly recommended that users verify especially questionable records found here with donor institutions. We believe our edits to be accurate and fully justified, and we try to keep our data synchronized as much as possible with revisions made at contributing institutions, however, we appreciate users keeping us apprised of any discrepancies they might find between our copy of the data and that found in the data donors' databases. We recommend that users feel free to question anything by e-mailing us or commenting via our online forms.
