The White Sea branch of the Zoological Museum of Moscow State University is based on the Nikolai Pertsov White Sea Biological Station. The collection consists mainly of fixed sea invertebrates from the White Sea, as well as from other seas and oceans. The majority of the material is available for molecular genetic research: all material fixed with ethanol is stored at -20°C or -80°С. The collection has over 15 thousand units, over 70 thousand specimens, and over 800 species, including type materials for over 12 species. The collection accepts material for storage and provides material upon request, and is integrated into the Noah’s Arc depository—an automatically updating catalogue of the collection is available online on the sites of the Noah’s Arc project and of the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF). The White Sea branch of the collection is maintained thanks to the efforts of the curator, employees and friends of the biological station, and museum volunteers. All collection units receive a unique number, with the international index ZMMU WS (Zoological Museum of Moscow University; White Sea branch).
