This preserved sea mouse (Aphrodita sp.) is a formalin-preserved marine annelid specimen commonly used in classrooms and laboratories to study polychaete anatomy and marine biology. Its dense setae and segmented body structure make it an excellent model for invertebrate anatomy and comparative biology instruction.
Specimen Details
Common name: Sea mouse
Scientific name: Aphrodita sp.
Size: Varies by specimen
Preservation method: Formalin-preserved
Habitat: Soft sediments on the ocean floor (marine)
Collection method: Bycatch
Quantity: Sold individually
Educational Applications
Commonly used in marine biology, invertebrate zoology, and comparative anatomy courses, this specimen supports instruction in annelid body organization, locomotion, and adaptation to benthic environments. Students can examine anatomical features characteristic of polychaete worms.
Anatomical Features
Segmented annelid body plan
Dense dorsal setae characteristic of sea mice
Distinct head and body segmentation
Suitable for invertebrate anatomy and marine biology study
Sourcing & Preservation
Specimens are responsibly sourced from marine environments and preserved in formalin to maintain anatomical integrity for long-term educational use and repeated classroom handling.
Note: This is a preserved marine annelid specimen. Natural variations in size, color, and appearance should be expected. For bulk or institutional orders, please contact info@gulfofme.com
