That's how I've always spelled it. (my spell checker says OK...who am I to
argue!).
We use basters all the time for collecting larval madtoms from wild nests.
Sorta like a mini slurp gun. We also use them around the hatchery for
transfering larvae and sometimes for cleaning eggs (either ones attached to
tiles, or clusters of madtom eggs). Cool tools!
