THE use of anaesthetics in fishery work, mainly in the transport of live-fish and also
in handling fish for tagging, fin-clipping, weighing and stripping has been recognised
by fishery workers everywhere. In live-fish transport, anaesthetics are useful in
lowering the metabolic activity of fish, which facilitates the transport of more fish
in a given quantity of water for a longer time. It has also been proved that anaesthetics
make the otherwise time consuming work of tagging and fin-clipping much
easier and also lower the mortality of the fish due to handling. Considerable effort
has gone into a search for a proper anaesthetic and its different concentrations to
give varying degrees of anaesthesia useful for works from tagging to transport of
live-fish
