Abstract

THE present paper is the continuation of the work by the author published
earlier (Durve and Dharma Raja, 1966). Here, seven more anae&fetics
in different concentrations have been tried in order t6 study their i^ects
on the behaviour of fingerlings of the mullet Liza fade. This has enabled
the author to select suitable anaesthetics—out of thirteen so far experimented
with—for fishery work such as transport of live fish, tagging, fin-clipping,
weighing, stripping and operating. Earlier work on the subject has been
discussed by Durve and Dharma Raja (pp.cit.). At the end of the present
paper, a general review of all the thirteen anaesthetics is given. Material
and methods are the same as mentioned in the earlier paper (Durve and
Dharma Raja op. cit.). All experiments were carried out in freshwater and
at tempeatures ranging from 27 to 28° C
