[Nhcoll-l] many specimens in one jar

[Lennart Lennuk]

Hi!

What is your practices preserving many specimens in one jar. It is quite impossible to mark them all with ID ohter than butting every specimen separately into glasstube. What might be the problems if there are for example 10 individuals of Palaemon in one jar and the ID-s are only on the main label?

Should we count each individual as specimen or should we take them as unit and describe in database how many individuals one unit holds?

Best regards!
