However, there is a lack of appropriate methods on making scale specimens for small fish species. Three methods included the warm water immersion method, alkaline immersion method and a new method invented by us were introduced in this study. Effects of age determination for three kinds of small fishes containing Danio rerio, Pseudorasbora parva and Paramisgurnus dabryanus through using scale specimens made by the three methods were compared. Results obtained here showed that the warm water immersion method was not applicable for making scale specimens of small fish. However, the alkaline immersion method and the new method were more suitable, while the new method was especially suitable for making scale specimens of P. dabryanus whose scales presented complex structures.
