A method of making artificial fish eggs ("geleggs") is described. Dyed gelatin droplets drip into cold organic solvent where they solidify as spheres; the spheres are then treated with a cross-linking compound. The result is a durable and easily stored imitation of pelagic or semipelagic fish eggs for use in egg drift and distribution studies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
