No, but the next best thing is the paper by Kimmel et al. that was published
in Developmental Dynamics a while back -- I don't have the reference handy,
but it'll be listed at the UO Zebrafish web page, <http://zfish.uoregon.edu/>.
Actually, all the images from that paper are also available there.

We use a few drops of 0.2% mesab (also called MS222, Finquel, 3-aminobenzoic
acid ethyl ester, available from Sigma (catalog #a-5040)). Again, the protocol
can be found on the zebrafish web page or the zebrafish book (you _should_
get the zebrafish book from the University of Oregon, it is indispensable!).
