The immersed fish were then observed for anesthetic induction time, anesthetic recovery time, power of anesthetics, and phenol absorption of the fish. This study was conducted by immersing fish in solutions of varying concentrations of E. This study aimed to investigate the anesthetic potency of E.cottoni extract including its induction time, recovery time, the power of anesthetic, and the phenol absorption by fish, as well as determining their mathematical models. Eucheuma cottonii has been well known as antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-cancer, and it is possible to be used as fish anesthetics due to the content of flavonoids and saponins.
Fish anesthetics have been a long time applied for handling and transporting fish.
