| ANAESTHETIC: In the case of fish, chemicals used to relax and facilitate handling, surgery and spawning procedures. Commonly used agents include tricane methane sulfonate (MS-222), benzocaine and quinaldine which are widely used in handling freshwater fish. Ethylenglycol-monophenylether is an anaesthetic agent more suitable for marine fish species. It is usually administered by immersing fish in a bath solution blood. | |
