        Im currently working on a project involving larval fish and wish
to preserve specimans for later observation. Can anyone suggest a good
method by which to preserve these larvae? Ive tried formalin but there is
still some amount of degradation and cloudiness in the tissue.

        Any suggestions?

Gratefully,
