[Nhcoll-l] Preparing Tetraodontid Skeletons

[Christina Giovas]

Hello All,


An Australian colleague of mine is preparing fish specimens for osteological collections and has several pufferfish (Tetraodontidae) to tackle. She is worried about tetrodotoxin exposure using conventional methods. Is anyone aware of published protocols for safely skeletonizing these fish or have experience handling tetraodontids or diodontids? Looking to avert a bad outcome.


Many thanks,

Christina
