On display in the department we have a jar of six Cannonball Jellyfish (Stomolophus meleagris) in ethanol that are in fine condition, floating around like a lava lamp 50 years after collection. We also have a pair of Box Jellyfish that I moved from an unknown
fluid to 80% ethanol about 15 years ago, and they too remain positively buoyant and in good, non-opaque condition (they might have been formalin-fixed). Finally I have a Pyrosome (tunicate) in 80% ethanol that is perfect after 18 years.

For many years I had a fine Velella that floated perfectly in 70% ethanol, but a few years ago its "sail" began to deflate and it eventually sank to the bottom of the jar. It seems OK otherwise, though.<br>

<span style="color:#1F497D">Over my 40 years of work with invertebrates, I have to admit that I never had to fix and/or preserved jellies; my specialty being marine benthos. But I have been told a number of things about the preservation of plankton.
</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif;margin-right: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">

<span style="color:#1F497D">One is that some jellies do not like ethanol at all, even after fixation with formaldehyde. I believe that is the case for our small FW medusa
<i>Craspedacusta sowerbii</i>. </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif;margin-right: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">

<span style="color:#1F497D">The other issue, which is not necessarily one for jellies, is that specimens can become opaque once transferred in ethanol, hence obscuring internal structures that may normally be used for identification or determining the life
stage.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif;margin-right: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">
