[Nhcoll-l] Moon jellyfish in liquid

[Joosep Sarapuu]

Dear all,

We have an exhibition coming and we would like to show there a moon jellyfish (Aurelia aurita) in a liquid. Do someone has any idea what liquid it should be that keeps the specimen „open“ as in sea water. I have heard that EtOH will make jellyfish to contract. Glycerin and formalin might work in this case? What might be the ratio?


Sincerely,
