Anesthetic Effect and Physiological Response in Olive Flounder ( Paralichthys olivaceus ) to Clove Oil in a Simulated Transport Experiment

The optimum concentrations of clove oil as an anesthetic for olive flounder ( ) and the stress response of the fish to clove oil anesthesia were determined over a range of water temperatures, and investigated in a simulated transport experiment using analysis of various water and physiological parameters. While the time for induction of anesthesia decreased significantly as both the concentration of clove oil and water temperature increased, the recovery time increased significantly (
