Abstract

General anaesthetics have been usually used for a long time because handling and transportation of live fish constitutes an important aspect in fisheries science. Numerous investigations, however, have shown that the majority of fish anaesthetics cause strong toxic effect to marine fishes. Therefore, less toxic and more effective anaesthetics are essential for marine fishes. Lidocaine belongs to a group of anaesthetics which are used as a local anaesthetic in human medicine. This chemical was tested for 11 commercially important marine fishes. Anaesthetic effects were clearly dose dependent and acute or chronic toxicities were not observed within clinical doses. The recovery time in the tested fish after anaesthetization was 3 to 4 minutes.

어류의 취급이나 운반을 용이하게 하기위해 마취는 매우 중요하다. 그러나 기존 어류 마취제는 많은 독성을 지니고 있다. 본 연구는 독성이 적어 인체용 마취제로 사용되는 리도카인을 해산어 마취제로 개발코자 11종의 유용 해산어류에 대하여 마취효과를 검토하였다. 그 결과 리도카인은 해산어 마취제로써 매우 유효하였으며 급, 만성 독성은 전혀 관찰되지 않았고, 마취 후 회복까지 3~4분이 소요되었다.
