[Coral-List] LARVAE STAINING

[Andrei Salcedo G]

greatings to all listers.
 
I am now carring on a study on the population dynamics of the brooding species manicina areolata in colombian Caribbean. i want to estimate de reproductive effort through larvae counting. i have been searching the web for methods of staining, but i have no data. the problem is that all the methods are too complex beacuse of the equipment they use and that is stuff we dont have in our lab; otherwise the methods referred in the articles take me to books we rather have. i am looking for a method for simple staining useful for microscopic observations of larvae and gamets.thank you again for your help.
 
the list will have notice of the results when they are ready.
