For over 25 years, I have used Le Parfait French captive
lid canning jars for preservation of fishes. In the US
there are several distributors of these jars. The
following link lists European distributors:
http://leparfait.com/list-of-outlets
Used with the white 55 Duro Buna-N rubber gaskets (US
manufacturer) instead of the orange gaskets (provided with
jars), these make excellent specimen jars. The orange
gaskets will hold up for a year or so but must be replaced
more frequently than the Buna-N rubber gaskets. (Any
residue left on the jar lid or rim from the old orange
gasket must be completely removed before replacing with a
new gasket.)
The size range: 0.5 liter to 3.0 liter. Our practice is
to put any specimen that is too large for the 3 liter jar
into the stainless steel tank system rather than trying to
find jars to fit over-sized specimens.
