Abstract
The technique, employing a concentrated solution of neutral red dye, allows application of identifying marks in situ with minimal disturbance of the organism. Tests showed that the marks persisted for at least 12 mo.The success of the method indicates its general utility for marking soft-bodied invertebrates which have previously proved unsusceptible to long-term individual marking.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
