Specimen registration
This page receives specimen registration requests for the Turkish Copepoda Research Collection (TCRC) and the Cukurova University Museum of Aquatic Parasitology/Copepoda Collection (CUMAPCOP).
When you submit the form below, your request is recorded and you receive a tracking code. The request is then reviewed by the collection curator; a registration number is issued only after approval and is sent to you by e-mail. This step keeps the catalogue consistent.
You may register several specimens in a single form. Selecting "Parasitic" as the material type opens the host information fields. Taxon names are checked against WoRMS; selecting an order loads its family list automatically.
Please provide the collection date, locality and collector as completely as possible — the number is issued on the basis of these data (the year in the number is the year of collection).
1. Sign in

3. Receive a tracking code
Your request is queued for review and you get a code such as REQ-2026-3F9A21.
4. Numbers are issued
After the curator approves, registration numbers are generated and sent to you by e-mail.
