Anaesthetic Effects of Lidocaine-HCl as an Anaesthetic on the Webfoot Octopus, Octopus ocellatus

주꾸미, Octopus ocellatus에 대한 마취제 염산리도카인의 마취효과

After the juvenile octopus individuals being discharged, it is hard to separately capture them because they attach strongly to the wall of the aquarium by the suckers on the arms. Therefore, anaesthetics (MS-222 or lidocaine-HCl) are usually used for capture from attachment. The anaesthetized time of the octopus by lidocaine-HCl was more faster 1.6 to 4.5 times under 200 ppm and 6.0 to 6.5 times in 300 to 500 ppm than those in MS-222. In the anaesthetized and recovery rates (%) by the exposed time, the juvenile octopuses were anesthetized by lower concentrations of lidocaine-HCl within the short time, and rapidly recovered from anesthesia. In the secondary anesthesia of the juvenile octopuses exposed with lidocaine-HCl by the elapsed time after the primary anesthesia, the anesthetized time was later in case of lower concentrations and long elapsed times, However, the anesthetized time was faster when their concentrations were higher and the elapsed time after anesthesia were shorter. Recovery from the secondary anesthesia was faster when the elapsed time was long in lower concentration, and was later when the elapsed time was shorter. In case of Octopus ocellatus, anaesthetic effects by lidocaine-HCl concentrations were better than those of MS-222. Doses of lidocaine-HCl and critical time for works at the indoor laboratory were proper in concentration of 100 ppm within 15 min.

두족류는 흡반에 의한 흡착력이 강하여 방류시 분리 포획에 어려움이 있는 어린 주꾸미의 마취 소요시간에 따른 효과면에서 200 ppm 이하의 농도에서 염산리도카인이 MS-222보다 1.6-4.5배정도 마취가 빨랐고 300-500 ppm의 농도에서는 5.10-6.0배 빨랐다. 노출시간에 따른 마취율과 회복률에 염산리도카인이 MS-222보다 저농도에서 짧은 시간 내 마취되고 고농도에서 빠른 시간 내에 회복되었다. 1차 마취 후 경과시간별 염산리도카인의 재마취에서 농도가 낮고 경과시간이 길수록 마취개시 및 종료시간이 늦어지고 농도가 높고 경과시간이 짧을수록 마취개시 및 종료시간이 빨라졌다. 재마취 회복 또한 저농도에서 경과시간이 길수록 빠르고 고농도에서 경과시간이 짧을 수록 회복이 늦어졌다. 주꾸미의 경우 MS-222보다는 염산리도카인이 마취에 좋았으며 작업을 고려한 사용농도 및 한계시간은 100 ppm 농도에 15분 이내가 적당하였다.
