This study describes anaesthetic efficacy of menthol and 1,8‐cineole in common carp, Cyprinus carpio, in comparison with eugenol. Common carp fingerlings were exposed to eugenol: 5, 10, 15, 25, 35, 50, 75, 100, 150 and 200 ppm; menthol: 5, 10, 15, 25, 50, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 and 600 ppm; 1,8‐cineole: 100, 150, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700 and 800 ppm. Induction time and recovery time were recorded. Results showed that menthol and 1,8‐cineole anesthetized the fish at higher concentrations compared to eugenol. The fish exposed to menthol showed common fish behavioural responses to anaesthesia, similar to eugenol. But, 1,8‐cineole‐exposed fish showed tail‐up swimming, which was not observed before. Also, 1,8‐cineole failed to completely cease muscle tone. Exposure to 200 ppm eugenol and 600 ppm menthol resulted in 40% and 20% mortality, respectively. Induction time was exponentially dependent on anesthetic concentrations. Recovery time was linearly correlated to eugenol and menthol, but not 1,8‐cineole concentrations. Recovery time was exponentially dependent on induction time in the fish anesthetized with eugenol and menthol, but not 1,8‐cineole. Menthol and 1,8‐cineole are recommended for carp anaesthesia. Menthol is capable to anesthetize common carp within 1–3 min at 118–512 ppm. Common carp anesthetized with 108–133 ppm menthol recovers within 5 min. 1,8‐cineole failed to anesthetize common carp within less than 150 s at 300–800 ppm concentrations. However, it anesthetizes carp within 3 min at 595 ppm concentration. Also, 1,8‐cineole is not recommended for fish surgery. Both menthol and 1,8‐cineole were less efficacious than eugenol.  相似文献

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of copper sulphate (CS) and copper oxide nanoparticles (NCuO) on haematological characteristics and plasma lipid profile in Cyprinus carpio. Fish were exposed to CS (0.25 mg L^?1 Cu) and NCuO [0.25 (LNP) and 25 mg L^?1 (HNP) Cu] for 14 days. CS and LNP treatments showed hypochromic anaemia after 3 and 7 days, and macrocytosis and haemolytic anaemia after 14 days. HNP treatment showed hypochromic anaemia and polycythemia after 3 days, and macrocytosis and hypochromic anaemia after 7 days and haemolytic hypochromic anaemia after 14 days. All copper‐exposed fish showed leukopenia at all times, except for HNP after 7 days and CS after 3 days. CS treatment at all times, and NCuO treatments after 14 days showed elevated plasma bilirubin. CS (3rd and 7th days) and HNP (3rd day) treatments had significantly higher plasma triglyceride compared to the control. Significant increases in plasma cholesterol and lipoprotein levels were observed after 3 and 14 days in CS, and after 14 days in LNP treatment; whereas HNP treatment had significantly higher high density lipoprotein (HDL) and very low‐density lipoprotein (VLDL) levels after 3 days, and cholesterol, HDL and low‐density lipoprotein (LDL) after 14 days. In conclusion, CS and NCuO induce anaemia probably due to iron metabolism disorder and RBC destruction in carp. CS and NCuO (at high concentration) alter plasma lipid profile, which may be due to stress‐induced lipolysis and hepatobiliary damages. At similar concentrations, copper nanoparticles are less toxic to carp than copper ions.  相似文献
