APPENDIX D:
Some Preservation Methods
Preserving Invertebrates
Sponges. Fix in 90% or absolute alcohol for 24 hours;
then store in 70% to 90% alcohol. (Do not use
formalin, which destroys the spicules.)
Flatworms. Drop Bouin’s fluid over well-expanded
specimens, wash in 70% alcohol, and store in
70% alcohol.
Nematodes. Fix in very hot 70% alcohol or 5% forma-
lin. When they have cooled, store in the same
kind of fluid with 5% glycerin added.
Crustaceans. Kill by adding formalin to their water
up to 5% strength. Then store in 70% alcohol
or, better, in 20% solution of glycerin in 70%
alcohol.
Insects and Spiders. Drop into 70% alcohol. Store in
20% solution of glycerin in 70% alcohol.
Earthworms. Kill with chloroform water or narcotize
in 0.2% Chloretone or 0.08% MS222. Store in 5%
formalin or 70% alcohol.
Most Molluscs, Echinoderms, Annelids,
Brachiopods, Cnidarians, and so on.
Narcotize slowly until they are well relaxed
(Appendix 1). Store in 5% formalin or 70% alco-
hol (see below for sea cucumbers). Sea urchins
should have a small hole made in the shell or in
the peristomial membrane to let in preservative.
Sea cucumbers can be relaxed in anoxic sea-
water (see Appendix 1); or, if in a hurry, should
be grasped firmly with blunt forceps just behind
the tentacles to prevent their retraction and then
plunged into 5% formalin for a few minutes;
then inject 70% alcohol into the cloacal opening
and through the body wall; preserve in 70%
alcohol (never preserve in formalin which will
dissolve the body-wall ossicles, which are
required for identification).
Hemichordates and tunicates should be narcotized
slowly and preserved as noted above. Pelagic
tunicates need not be narcotized; they can be
placed in seawater made up to 5% formalin.
Amphioxus can be plunged directly into Bouin’s fix-
ative without prior narcotization and left for 24
hours before being transferred to 70% alcohol.
