Effects of Clove Oil and Eugenol on Anaesthesia and Some Hematological Parameters of European Eel Anguilla anguilla, L., 1758

HUNT, ARZU ÖZLÜER

To investigate anaesthetic and some hematological effects of clove oil and eugenol for European eel, Anguilla anguilla, L., 1758, 0.0, 0.025, 0.05 and 0.075 mlll of clove oil or 0.0, 2.250, 3.375 and 4.500 mlll of eugenol were applied to fish (80.9528.94 g). After fish was anaesthetized, half of fishes from each group were transferred into recovery tanks (to clean water), whereas, other half was retained there for next 48h. Induction time ranged between 3 and 5 min for clove oil and 2 and 5 min for eugenol. Fish reached to slh anaesthesia stage in all experimental groups except control and the lowest concentration group of both anaesthetics. Reaching the fish to 8th stage of recovery took 60 min in all groups. Opercular rates of fish in test groups of clove oil and eugonal decreased...
