    Karsten Hartel has been at the MCZ since 1975 where he has been instrumental in more than tripling the size of the MCZ Ichthyology Collection. This primarilary due to the NSF supported transfer of the collections from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution to the MCZ.

    He and two co-authors (D. B. Halliwell and A.E. Launer) have produced a manuscript on the Inland Fishes of Massachusetts published by the Massachusetts Audubon society in the summer of 2000. An electronic version of a annotated checklist and keys are available on the WWW.

    Mr. Hartel has collected fishes for the MCZ from North, Central and South America and has participated in thirteen oceanic expeditions to various parts of the Atlantic, Indian, Pacific, Southern oceans.

    He has also been active in curation research and was one of the developers of the American Society of Ichtyologists and Herpetologists' Curation Newsletter.
