The Rio Lerma basin is the most important river basin of Mexico’s central plateau. This basin has a long story of geological instability, physiographic changes and river anastomosis, which have produced the scattering of primary species and the development of innate ichthyofauna that accounts nearly 12% of the national total. The database contains 732 specimens pertaining to 9 families, 26 genera and 48 species, and it pertains to the SNIB.
