2-Phenoxyethanol as an anesthetic for Rhamdia quelen: a comparison with eugenol.
Abstract:Aquaculture handling requires fast anesthesia, assuming that action-time is within 3 min and recovery in <5 min. This study aimed to verify the ideal concentration (IC) of 2-Phenoxyethanol (2-Phe) to induce anesthesia for Rhamdia quelen and to compare its effects on stress parameters in R. quelen anesthetized with Eugenol. To accomplish this goal, two assays were carried out. 1°) seven 2-Phe concentrations were tested: 300, 400, 500, 550, 600, 650, and 700 µL L -1 to verify IC. When increasing 2-Phe concentrat… Show more
