Winter flounder, Pleuronectes americanus에 대한 염산리도카인-중탄산나트륨의 마취효과

Recently, less toxic and more effective anaesthetics are essential for marine fishes. Lidocaine belongs to a group of anaesthetics which are used as local anaesthetic in human medicine. This chemical was tested fer winter flounder, Pleunnectes americanus. Anaesthetic effect of lidocaine hydrochloride-sodium bicarbonate mixture (lidocaine ) was tested for the winter flounder at five different temperature regimes: Anaesthetic dose and temperature-dependent relationship in exposure and recovery time were observed for the winter flounder of mean total length. Based on the results, anaesthetic lidocaine showed rapid exposure time and rapid recovery time for winter flounder. The results indicate that lidocaine can be used as suitable anaesthetic for this species.
