Shrinkage, distortion and deterioration of preserved fish larvae can be minimized
by judicious choice of fixative/preservative solutions. A seven year factorial
experiment was conducted with Paralichthys lethostigma larvae fixed and
preserved in 12 different solutions comparable to those used in ichthyoplankton
collections. The factors were: salinity (0‰, 35‰), formalin (4%, 7%, 10%) and
buffer (none, sodium borate). Florida Atlantic University.
