Appendix 4: Vehicle Use List

When preserving fish much larger than 0.3 to 5 kg (0.5 to 10 lbs), the fish should be sliced open along the lower rib in. order to allow the formalin to penetrate the body cavity fast enough to prevent decay. A slit through the ribs is preferred to . a belly slit to facilitate counting belly scales in the lab. ................
