Abstract: A kit for making an imprint of a surface of a fish without pigmented ink is disclosed. The kit comprises a developer-coated paper having a developer agent, a nonpigmented activation solution having an activation agent, an applicator, and a set of instructions for applying the activation solution to the surface of the fish with the applicator and making an imprint of the surface of the fish on the developer-coated paper. The developer agent and activation agent are selected so that they produce color when they are combined.
