FishEvolutionLab-Edu

Welcome to the Fish Evolution Lab and Marine Vertebrate Collection (MVC) at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego. Our channel shares discoveries, stories, and resources about the incredible diversity and evolution of fishes, bringing cutting-edge science from the lab and field directly to the community. 

We combine genome-scale data, fossil evidence, field expeditions across continents, and our world-class natural history collection to illuminate the past, present, and future of fish evolution.

Here you’ll find educational videos, behind-the-scenes collection tours, field stories, and updates on our discoveries. All designed to inspire curiosity, foster conservation awareness, and connect science with society.
