Getting information from ethanol preserved nematocysts of the venomous cubomedusa Chiropsalmus quadrumanus: a simple technique to facilitate the study of nematocysts

Preserved specimens make it difficult to study nematocysts. We tested an hydration protocol on ethanol preserved tentacles of Chiropsalmus quadrumanus (Cubomedusae) during a period of ten days, and quantified the success of retrieval of information. After six days of hydration, it was possible to ob...
