Three researchers in white lab coats stand smiling in a specimen room, holding a Mobula thurstoni specimen. Behind them are shelves lined with tall glass jars containing preserved fish. A person gloves uses a measuring tape on a preserved ray specimen (Urobatis jamaicensis) on a lab tray. The photo focuses on the spiracles and eyes. Four people smile for a selfie with the Eiffel Tower in the background. Two researchers in white lab coats hold a large preserved guitarfish specimen (Glaucostegus cemiculus). They’re smiling in front of shelves filled with jars containing preserved fish specimens.
