Notes: Abstract The effect of various preservation methods on the carbon content of the copepod Megacyclops gigas was studied using the carbon content of living animals as a control. No differences were found between animals dried at −20, +60, or +105°C, but in all cases the carbon content was slightly lower than that found in living animals. Chemical preservation with formaldehyde and acid Lugol's solution rapidly resulted in about 35% loss of carbon. Freezing at −20°C in water caused less marked but significant loss of carbon, whereas freezing in dilute formaldehyde yielded values agreeing with those of living animals.
