Note

Standard clearing and straining techniques involve direct manipulation of the specimen (Holister 1934; Taylor 1967). These techniques are often unsuitable because larval fishes are fragile and may be damaged by handling. To minimize damage during clearing and staining, the enzyme method of Taylor (1967) was modified by reducing the number of steps and using a syringe to add and remove solutions from the dishes containing the specimens.
