Determination of the average intraocular pressure values, optimum anesthesia dose and phenotypic characteristics in Oscar fish (Astronotus ocellatus)

This research was carried out to determine the intraocular pressure values, optimum anesthesia dose and phenotypic characteristics in Oscar fish (Astronotus ocellatus). A total of 11 adult, male were used study. Optimum dose, pre-and post-anesthesia values measurements (total length, fork standard dorsal fin base head body eye diameter, depth, pectoral pelvic bottom anal length) determined reference specific this species obtained by performing a statistical analysis. When exposed 3 cc/L concentrations, achieved deep state (induction time 1.31 min; recovery 6.42 min). The most balanced without risking vital functions using Clove oil with 2.5 cc/L. Compared other dimensions, length consistent high positive correlations. No statistically significant difference (p > 0.05) seen both eyes between before (5.36-5.86) after (5.59-5.36) anesthesia. It is recommended that ideal concentration clove reduce stress injury damage during handling procedures. Additionally, study can be as for raised aquarium conditions.
