<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Angela,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m not familiar with doing this with fish, but if it were me, I would not assign the original catalog number to any of the subsequent lots. I would assign each lot a new catalog number, include the original catalog number as another identifier
and the relationship would be “same lot as” (maybe there is a more appropriate one). You can encumber the original catalog record so that it isn’t searchable externally but still exists for internal collections management purposes. Maybe reach out to the Arctos
team on GitHub if you haven’t and see if they have any ideas about it. This might also be a case for using the “entity” feature in Arctos where the entity could consist of the multiple cataloged lots to indicate that they were once one lot. Not sure if that’s
an appropriate use for that feature.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">We have a fish lot that was originally IDed to genus and cataloged as such. A researcher has followed up and IDed all individuals to species, splitting cleanly into new lots. Is there a standard guiding which (if any) of these new lots
should carry the original catalog number and which should receive a new one? This catalog series is strictly integers, so I can't assign 123A, 123B, etc. without changing the series format and affecting other things (working in Arctos).<o:p></o:p></p>
