[Nhcoll-l] Fw: Question about larval fish preservation

[Dirk Neumann]

Hi all,

I just visited the small Natural History Museum in Postdam (W of 
Berlin); they have a large variety of amazing, full plastinated mounts 
(mostly mammals, up to the size of a otter. This could be an idea, even 
though I have to admit that I have no practical experience how you would 
prepare the larvae.

All the best
Dirk
