Subject: [Nhcoll-l] Preservative for invertebrates

Hi all,

I am looking for help/advice on finding references on preservative of invertebrates.
If anyone knows/has references mentioning
1) reasons for using 70% ethanol as a standard long term preservative of marine invertebrates
2) effects (pros/cons) on using lower concentration (50%) of ethanol as a long term preservative of marine invertebrates
could you please contact Harim, a collection manager at SIO, at hacha at ucsd.edu<mailto:hacha at ucsd.edu>

Any advice or comments on using lower concentration of ethanol as a long term preservative would be really appreciative.

Thanks,

Harim
