Abstract
Abstract Dehydration and clearing by 2,2-dimethoxypropane (DMP) is completed in 30 min. Tissues of eel and oysters, both of importance for aquaculture purposes, were used in a comparison of the DMP procedure and conventional dehydration-clearing. We found that the cutting quality and the histological appearance of the tissues were quite similar. The time-saving aspects are considered as an advantage of DMP for rapid results in aquaculture research.
