Efficacy of clove solution on blood sampling and hematological study in Beluga, Huso huso (L.).

摘要

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the efficacy of clove solution on anesthesia and hematological parameters in Beluga, Huso huso (L.). In the experiment 1, fish were exposed to concentrations of 300, 500, 700, 1,800 and 3,000 ppm clove solution and induction (stage 3 and 4) as well as recovery period lengths were recorded. These concentrations were led to induction and recovery time between 42-365 and 125-235 s, respectively, in dose-dependent manner. There was negative correlation between induction and recovery time (R2=0.92). In the experiment 2, fish were exposed to each aforementioned concentrations and let to reach stage 4 anesthesia and then blood-sampled. Control group was sampled without anesthesia. Hematological studies between groups showed no significant changes in white blood cell (WBC) and differential leukocyte count (P
