Starfish, belonging to the phylum echinoderm, is one of the most important organisms in Marine ecosystems. The preparation and preservation of starfish specimens is of great significance to scientific research, education and the promotion of Marine protection awareness.
Starfish specimens are usually prepared by capturing, fixing and drying them. After capture, the starfish needs to be immobilized by soaking in a formalin solution to maintain its form and structure. Then, by natural drying or chemical treatment, the specimen is preserved to a suitable state for long-term observation and study.
Starfish play a key role in ecosystems, acting as predators and regulating the population structure of the underlying organisms. Scientists can explore the physiological characteristics, living habits and responses to environmental changes through the anatomical study of starfish specimens, which has guiding significance for the protection of Marine ecological environment.
In addition, in museums and educational activities, sea star specimens are visually displayed to raise public awareness of the importance of Marine biodiversity and conservation, and stimulate people's interest in scientific exploration and environmental protection. In this way, starfish specimens not only preserve scientific value, but also carry important educational and cultural missions.
