The Royal BC Museum’s Invertebrate Zoology collection includes Northeast Pacific invertebrates and comparative material from elsewhere in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, including significant collections of cnidarians, sponges, molluscs, and echinoderms, as well as fauna from offshore BC’s hydrothermal vent systems. The holdings range from recently acquired specimens to historical specimens collected in the late 1800s. The entire collection encompasses at least 20 phyla and over 70,000 specimen lots, including type specimens of species new to science.
