The project has started, and one can already browse some of the fishes present in the database by order or by family. Once it's finished, there will be two million MRI scans available online covering just about every fish species known. What else can I say but ... WOW ... Panda Catfish fan and keeper/breeder since Christmas 2002

In fact, most zoological research facilities either make arrangements with local zoos for mri testing, or they do it in a specialty radiology lab. At least that's how it went for us. That's like implying that's it's a farmer's duty to donate all his stores of lufenuron to helminth infested patients that can't afford treatment.
