Abstract:
The Royal Museum for Central Africa (RMCA), created from the colonial section of the world exhibition of 1897, has become an international scientific research institute, a museum famed for its exhibitions, and an intercultural meeting place.

The Museum holds an exceptional and world-renowned patrimony which, besides ethnographic collections, the full archives of Stanley and the biggest xylarium in Europe, contains 10 million zoological specimens. The Biology department of the Royal Museum for Central Africa (RMCA) manages an extensive collection of Afrotropical organisms. Furthermore, the department conducts research at an international level both on collection specimens and on species in their natural environment in order to attain a better understanding of African biodiversity. The department consists of four divisions: Wood Biology, Biological Collection and Data Mangagement, Invertebrates and Vertebrates.

The marine research is situated in the Vertebrates and Invertebrates divisions.
- The Vertebrates division conducts research in the field of ichtyology and more specifically on the systematics and ecology of African fish species. This group is involved in FishBase: the largest worldwide fish encyclopedia and scientific data source on fish. The RMCA is responsible for the African brackish and freshwater fish (www.FishBaseForAfrica.org);
- In the Invertebrates division, the taxonomy of sea cucumbers is studied.
