| dc.description | Various anaesthetics have been in use in culture fishery operations. The present communication describes the efficacy of carbonic acid as anaesthesis for Indian major carps. Different dose levels were tried and the results discussed. It was observed that at lower concentrations the fish were anaesthetized slowly and less deeply whereas at higher concentrations the effect was rapid with greater sedation. The duration for which the fish could be safely held in the anaesthetizing bath also varied a ccording to the concentra tion of carbonic acid and size of the fish. For smaller fry, the safe dose range of carbonic acid was rather very narrow. No significent differences could be observed between the three species of Indian major carps in their response towards the carbonic acid anaesthesia. | |
