[Nhcoll-l] Preservation of a fish collection

[Katja Seltmann]

We have just started caring for a small teaching collection of fish. The
jars seem to be filled with alcohol, but I am assuming that the original
specimens were preserved with formaldehyde. Many of the specimens need the
fluid in the jars topped off, but I do not know what concentration of
ethanol we should be using.

Does anyone have a protocol for their collection they would be willing to
share?

Thank you,
Katja
