Óleo de cravo e mentol como anestésicos para guppy (Poecilia reticulata)

Abstract

In view of the above, it is observed that studies carried out with anesthetics involving ornamental fish are still very incipient, where most of them end up being carried out with fish destined for human consumption. During management in ornamental fish farming, such as biometrics and transport, stress has been responsible for a large mortality of individuals, which could be minimized with the use of anesthetics at the appropriate concentrations for each species. Since no reference is found to concentrations and ideal anesthetics for most ornamental fish species, these studies are promising to assist in the development of the production chain of these organisms, with a focus on their quality and health.
