Soft body parts will have signficant shrinkage. This has been demonstrated
conclusively with vertebrates, specifically with larval and juvenile
fishes. With vertebrates, as they get larger, the signficance of this
shrinkage tends to be less. I would expect similar results with inverts,

Change in linear dimensions of soft tissues in larval insect when fixed
Dear Ecolog-Listers:
I have nearly ca. 200 museum specimens of aquatic larval insects (1-3 cm
long) that I assume were killed by dumping them in (at the minimum) 70%
ethanol. In the only one case that the label states anythin
