Abstract

Aim: The study was aimed to ensure the suitability of three anaesthetics viz. Nitrazepam, Pentothal sodium and Ketamine in selected freshwater fishes.

Method and Materials: Calculation of appropriate doses for specific anaesthetics for a particular fish species and selected biochemical parameters were estimated for assessing probable impact of anaesthetic. The anaesthetic agents, Nitrazepam, Pentothal sodium and Ketamine, have been screened for the first time on two economically important fishes viz. Labeo rohita and Cirrhinus mrigala.

Results: The doses of anaesthetics employed did not cause any adverse effect on biochemical constitution of fish as evident from the analysis of selected blood and muscle parameters.

Conclusion: It was concluded that Nitrazepam, Pentothal sodium and Ketamine agents with used doses in Labeo rohita and Cirrhinus mrigala fishes found safe and effective.
