Transparent biological specimens are a method of specimen preparation, initially used for scientific research. Kairu uses specimens sourced from discarded catches, invasive species, or deceased farmed organisms. During the process, without damaging the organism's integrity, multiple chemical and dye treatments are applied, transforming the remains of organisms on the verge of disappearing into exquisite and unique transparent specimens. https://www.pinkoi.com/product/juJtP3HX (DIY Kairu’s Marine Lab Series Transparent Specimen Making Kit) **// Product Specifications //** // Contents // Transparent biological specimen fountain pen Cartridge ink converter // Pen Colors // champagne gold sand chrome Silver sky blue pink black dark blue **Designed by Kairu Studio / Made in Taiwan** **// Little Biology Class //** Mosquitofish (Poeciliidae) Elongated body, the front half slightly wedge-shaped, the rear half laterally flattened. Females have a more bulging abdomen compared to males. The mouth is upward-facing and retractable. The dorsal fin is short and small, located in the posterior half of the body. Characteristics: Whether the snout is elongated, and the structure of the claspers are important classification features, as is the shape of the teeth. A small fish belonging to freshwater or estuarine areas, with strong reproductive capacity and environmental tolerance. Due to human introduction, abandonment, or escape, it has become an invasive species found throughout Taiwan's freshwater bodies. Its strong reproductive capability overlaps with the ecological niche of native killifish. Combined with reasons such as environmental pollution and habitat development, native killifish have been replaced by species from the Poeciliidae family such as mollies and guppies. **// Notes //** > The product is a biological specimen made from deceased organisms that have undergone post-processing.
