amplifiable DNA from museum fish specimens; methods?

[Bruce J. Turner]

 Does anyone out there have, or know of, a reliable published protocol for
obtaining amplifiable DNA from fish specimens in museum collections---these
are routinely fixed in "formalin" and subsequently stored in ethanol or
isopropanol.  I need such a protocol to help confirm the genetic identity
of a fish population previously thought to be extinct, but which has
reappeared at its only known locality (there is a serious possibility here
of introductions by humans from nearby, non-endangered populations).  I
haven't found anything, but surely some one has tackled this by now?  Any
help would be appreciated, and sorry for any duplicate mailings...
