Anesthetic induction and recovery of Hippocampus reidi exposed to the essential oil of Lippia alba

摘要: The aim of this study was to identify the times anesthetic induction and recovery in slender seahorses (Hippocampus reidi) that were exposed essential oil Lippia alba (EO), as well efficacy EO a stress-reducing agent transport species. Slender placed 1-L aquaria containing different concentrations (0, 10, 20, 50, 150, 300 450 µL L-1), after induction, fish transferred free evaluate their time. In an additional experiment, transported plastic bags with 15 L-1 for 4 or 24 h. increased concentration proportionally decreased time required anesthesia. treatment (15 L-1) inhibited increase blood glucose levels provoked by transportation Transportation h also number lymphocytes neutrophil count, these effects avoided addition water. These results demonstrate effective at 10-20 slight sedation 150 deep anesthesia seahorse.
