Development of anaesthetic protocols for lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus L.): Effect of anaesthetic concentrations, sea water temperature and body weight
Fig 4
Induction and recovery times during immersion anaesthesia with metacaine.
(A) Times for induction for all fish sizes at two temperatures for three different doses of metacaine. (B) Times for recovery (normal respiration). The boxes show average with standard deviation. Yellow boxes = fish 10–20 g at 6°C, orange boxes = fish 10–20 g at 12°C, light blue boxes = fish 200–400 g at 6°C, dark blue boxes = fish 200–400 g at 12°C, light green boxes = fish 600–1300 g at 6°C, dark green boxes = fish 600–1300 g at 12°C. (C) Statistical analyses of effect of Anaesthetic concentrations, temperature and fish size alone or in combination.
