Abstract(s)
The collection of the Museu Oceanográfico D. Carlos I is a historical specimen, instrument, and document
collection that has been housed at the Aquário Vasco da Gama since 1935. The collection is largely
the result of several scientific campaigns conducted by Dom Carlos de Bragança between 1896 and 1907.
Specifically, the ichthyological collection consists of 675 surviving catalogue records of specimens caught, acquired or offered to D. Carlos I between 1892 to 1907, and includes the type specimen for Odontaspis
nasutus Bragança, 1904 (junior synonym of Mitsukurina owstoni Jordan, 1898), along with several specimens
of deep sea species. All specimens were captured in coastal Portuguese waters, and were preserved in
alcohol, formalin, or mounted
