[Nhcoll-l] Shark preparation protocol

[Gali Beiner]

Hi all,

We need to deal with preparation of several shark specimens - in this case,
defleshing (maceration) to receive skeletal parts. Since shark
skeletons are so special (keratin!), I'd like to ask for advice concerning
recommended maceration procedures.

I did find a publication entitled A complete protocol for the preparation
of chondrichthyan skeletal specimens (Enault et al., 2016) - I'll be happy
to receive comments and recommendations, since we need the skeletal
material to enter the collections and be used for morphological study.

Thanks,

Gali
