EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, a glass specimen jar filled with numerous arrowtooth eels (Synaphobranchus kaupi) is displayed at the Darwin Centre of the Natural History Museum in London. The pink hue of the preserving solution adds a striking contrast to the translucent, elongated bodies of these intriguing fishes. Arrowtooth eels, also known as cutthroat eels or Kaup's arrowtooth eels, belong to the Synaphobranchidae family within the order Anguilliformes. They are characterized by their long, slender bodies and distinctive arrow-shaped teeth, which give them their name. These eels are found in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, typically residing at depths of 200 to 1,000 meters. The specimens in the jar have been preserved in a process known as spirit preservation. This method involves immersing the animals in a solution of ethanol or methanol, which not only preserves the tissue but also helps to maintain their original form and coloration. This technique is essential for the study and preservation of valuable biological material, allowing researchers to examine the anatomy and morphology of these fascinating creatures in great detail. The arrowtooth eels in the jar are a testament to the vast collection of natural history specimens housed at the Natural History Museum. This remarkable institution serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and studying the natural world, providing valuable insights into the diversity and complexity of the animal kingdom. The Synaphobranchus kaupii, with their unique features and intriguing appearance, continue to captivate and inspire curiosity in visitors and researchers alike.
