The reference collection of fish eggs and larvae from the Laboratory of Ichthyoplankton and Inland Fisheries Ecology (LEIPAI) is located at the Federal University of Western Pará (UFOPA), and is composed of specimens preserved in a wet way (4% formalin or 70% alcohol). The collection has been formed by the numerous research projects of PhD. Diego Maia Zacardi and currently contemplates more than 80 identified species, comprising more than 210,000 specimens of fish larvae from the Amazon. It is relevant with regard to research on ichthyoplanktonic inventories, as well as serving as a support for ecological research actions. It is a collection of regional expression composed mostly of recent material, mainly specimens captured in river systems from the northern region of Brazil, such as the state of Pará, Amazonas and Amapá, in addition to samples from the estuarine and coastal region. Much material still has a large number of species to be identified due to the complexity existing in the groups. The purpose of the collection is to serve as a reference composing the various stages of initial development of Amazonian fish species, as well as popularize the importance of scientific collections, whether for knowledge production or extension actions with the scientific and local community. The cataloging and computerization process of the collection is underway, using the Microsoft Excel database manager. The specimens and data from the collection are available to researchers as well as consultation by undergraduate and graduate students, duly authorized and accompanied by the responsible curator or technician. It is noteworthy that among the ichthyoplanktonic collections recognized in Brazil, only this one is located in the Amazon.
