[Nhcoll-l] many specimens in one jar

[Joosep Sarapuu]

Dear all,

Our same species, but different data specimens jar looks now like on the picture. Is there usually a nessesity to print all small jars labels with all the collecting data (date, coordinates, etc.) also into the bigger jar and have there like 3+ labels all together? Right now we only have ID code in small jar and in the small jar there is no room for labels that have collecting data.

Sincerely,
 Joosep Sarapuu

In my former employment, we would wait for a local (usually retired) carcinologist to visit and let them to go through and identify each species and then add the name to the tube label.  If time permitted we would then add each species name to the database, else the generic name would be added only but in red print indicating that further work was required.

With all good wishes, Simon

What might be the problems if there are for example 10 individuals of Palaemon in one jar and the ID-s are only on the main label?
