  The aim of this study was to identify the times of anesthetic induction and recovery in common carp (Cyprinus carpio) with average body weights of 11.59 ± 1.23 g, at water temperatures of 23˚C that were exposed to the spearmint (/-Carvon) oil and methyl salicylate oil emulsion (CMSE). Common carp were placed in 1-L aquaria containing different concentrations of CMSE (263, 395, 526, 658 and 789 μI/L). The different treatments resulted in average induction and recovery times ranging from 80.33 ± 5.13d s to 305.67 ± 21.13 s and 87.67 ± 19.39 s to 194.33 ± 27.09 s, respectively. Induction and recovery time decreased significantly with increasing of the concentration of CMSE (P<0.05). Opercular rate firstly increased and then slowly decreased with increasing the concentration of anesthetic. Glucose levels were significantly affected by CMSE concent.. View More»
