We want to add to existing literature on the effects on fish tissue stable isotopes of fixing and preservation and are seeking specimens from field samples (marine or freshwater) that have been frozen whole and have also been vouchered in a natural history
collection. We would take small amounts of tissue from both specimens. The procedure is simple and could be conducted by someone local or we could come visit (within a reasonable distance). </div>
