How did KAIRU turn the fish transparent?
Transparent biological specimens are a method of making biological specimens. They were originally used for scientific research. The specimens used by KAIRU come from abandoned fisheries, exotic species or dead organisms in farms. The integrity of the organisms is not destroyed during production. Next, after multiple treatments with chemicals and dyes, the remains of the dying creatures are reborn into beautiful and unique transparent specimens.

Squids among the cephalopods include the order Sepia and the order Sepia. The biggest difference between the ear squid and other squid groups is that they do not have the strong bones that ordinary cuttlefish have. The mantle of most ear squids is relatively short and the fin-like structures are round and small. In terms of identification, the membrane between the wrists, the edge structure between the mantle and the head, the number and arrangement of the suction cups of the wrists, and the shape of the gonads and luminous organs are used to identify the eared squid.
The eared squid is a benthic or mesopelagic organism, and the depth of the mesopelagic zone is between 200 and 1000m. Taxa living in the mesopelagic zone mostly inhabit areas close to the slopes of the continental shelf. Benthic groups will choose soft sandy terrain or seagrass beds. During the day, it will cover its body with sand with its tentacles and fins to hide in the sand, and only come out at night to look for benthic organisms or crustaceans.
Fishery use: In some countries, it is a secondary economic catch, and the rest mostly occurs as bycatch.

>Real biological specimens, photos are for reference only. If the individual is slightly damaged (such as incomplete fins, etc.), this is normal.
>It is recommended to store in a cool place away from direct sunlight.
>Storage solution: Glycerin is a non-toxic liquid. If it comes into contact accidentally, please rinse with water.
>The specimen is preserved in glycerol, and the remaining air bubbles can be used to adjust the posture of the specimen.
