Perch preserved in formalin. Specimen is 9"+ and single injected (red arteries). Shipped immersed in Carosafe® in a sealed pail. Prices listed are for 1 specimen.
Product Details
Perch are vertebrates in the class Osteichthyes, the bony fishes. These are the traditional dissection specimens used in life science courses when studying the external and internal anatomy of bony fish. Unlike the other classes of fish, these specimens possess a bony skeleton, an operculum that covers the gills, and a swim bladder.
As students dissect the perch, they:
- Explore the connection between structure and function
- Study regulation and behavior
- Investigate bony fish adaptations
Product Features
- Single injected (red arteries) for clear examination of the arterial system
- Immersed in Carosafe® holding fluid, packaged in 1- to 5-gal pails, and sealed with leak-proof, reusable lids; ideal for long-term storage
- Prices listed are for 1 specimen
Carosafe®
Carosafe® preservative and holding solution for biological specimens contains no formaldehyde and is not a tissue fixative. Most Carosafe® specimens were first preserved with a formalin solution and then washed before placement in Carosafe®. Specimens are held in Carosafe® prior to shipment, producing formalin-preserved specimens that, when dissected, minimize formaldehyde exposure. Learn More.
