Hi everyone,</div>

<div>I'm hoping someone has a few minutes to help a mammalogist learn how to deal with fish!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<span>In short, a grad student here is collecting up to 1500 fish this summer for a project on environmental toxins. Because the fish will be pulled apart to analyze separate tissues, they'll be in poor condition by the time they're in our (the museum's) hands.<span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span><br>

<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
<span>My question is whether there is a preferred partial voucher option for fish. Cleaned skeleton? Fins / scales / opercula in EtOH? Since vouchering wasn't in the original research plan, <span style="margin:0px;font-size:12pt"><span style="margin:0px">we
don't have the capacity to formalin fix the remaining carcasses even if that's the preferred option. </span></span>We'll be archiving tissue, regardless.</span></div>
