Clove oil and menthol as anesthetic for platy
Keywords:
anesthesia, eugenol, induction, ornamental fish, recovery, Xiphophorus maculatusAbstract
Studies with anesthetics in ornamental fish is still poor; so the aim of this study was to evaluate the induction and recovery times of platys (Xiphophorus maculatus) exposed to anesthetics clove oil and menthol. For the experiment, we used two groups of 40 juveniles fish, which were subjected to concentrations of 50, 100, 150 and 200 mg L-1 of the clove oil and 50, 100, 150, 200 and 250 mg L-1 of the menthol. In all concentrations evaluated of both anesthetics, animals reached deep anesthesia stage, without mortality observations, after 96 h of the experiment. The concentrations 100 to 200 mg L-1 of clove oil and 100 to 250 mg L-1 of menthol provided a period of anesthetic induction and recovery considered within the ideal range. Thus, it is concluded that these anesthetic drugs, used in optimal concentrations, are effective for platys anesthesia.
