Zusammenfassung: | Anesthetics are effective to reduce or minimize stress in handling operations related to fish cultures. Aiming to avoid residual effects of synthetic drugs, several natural agents, such as essential oils (EOs), have been tested. The aim of this study was to determine the optimal concentration of the EO of Ocimum micranthum for induction of anesthesia in juveniles of silver catfish (Rhamdia quelen) and grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella). Results demonstrated that the most suitable concentration to sedate silver catfish and carp is 25[micro]L/L, while to anesthetize 200[micro]L/L is more suitable for silver catfish and 100[micro]L/L for grass carp, because these concentrations induce deep anesthesia in less than three min and recovery in less than five min. Analysis of the EO constituents showed methyl chavicol, a compound with carcinogenic potential, as the major component (58.2%). Therefore, the EO of O. micranthum is not recommended for fish anesthesia if the fish are to be used as food. Key words: anesthesia, silver catfish, grass carp, sedation. Os anestesicos sao eficazes para reduzir ou minimizar o estresse nas operacoes de manuseio relacionadas a piscicultura. Com o objetivo de evitar efeitos residuais de farmacos sinteticos, varios agentes naturais, como oleos essenciais (OEs), tem sido testados. O objetivo deste estudo foi determinar a concentracao otima do OE de Ocimum micranthum para a inducao de anestesia em juvenis de jundia (Rhamdia quelen) e carpa capim (Ctenopharyngodon idella). Os resultados demonstram que a concentracao mais adequada para sedar jundias e carpas capim e 25[micro]L/L. Enquanto que para anestesiar 200[micro]L/L e mais adequado para jundias e 100[micro]L/L para carpas capim, pois essas concentracoes induzem anestesia profunda em menos de tres minutos e recuperacao em menos de cinco minutos. A analise dos constituintes do OE identificou o metil chavicol, um composto com potencial carcinogenico, como componente majoritario (58,2%). Portanto, o OE de O. micranthum nao e recomendado para anestesia de peixes usado como alimento. Palavras-chave: anestesia, jundia, carpa-capim, sedacao. |
