Anaesthesia of Atlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus) Effect of pre‐anaesthetic sedation,and importance of body weight and water temperature

The efficacy of the anaesthetic agents benzocaine, metacaine (MS‐222), metomidate, 2‐phenoxyethanol, quinaldine and isoeugenol was studied in Atlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus). Fish with an average body weight of 33 g were anaesthetized at 8 °C and fish with an average body weight of 1243 g were anaesthetized at 8 and 15 °C. Agents were tested individually and as combination anaesthesia comprising pre‐anaesthetic sedation, followed by anaesthesia. Induction and recovery times varied in relation to the body weight and water temperature. Large fish had longer induction times and shorter recovery times, and displayed reduced responsiveness to handling compared with small fish. A higher temperature resulted in shorter induction times, longer recovery times and increased responsiveness to handling. Lower dosages were used for all agents in combination anaesthesia. In small fish, this had no effect on the induction times but resulted in shorter recovery times and reduced responsiveness to handling. In large fish, combination anaesthesia resulted in shorter induction times whereas no uniform trend in recovery times and no differences in responsiveness to handling were observed. Neither individual agents nor combinations blocked all reflex reactions to external stimulation in all fish of any treatment group. MS‐222 and benzocaine, used separately or in combination anaesthesia, were the most effective agents in reducing reflex reactions.     

Effect of repeated exposure to AQUI‐S® on the viability and growth of Neoparamoeba perurans

There have been recent efforts amongst immunologists to develop approaches for following individual fish during challenges with viral and bacterial pathogens. This study contributes to assessing the feasibility of using such approaches to study amoebic gill disease (AGD). Neoparamoeba perurans, agent of AGD, has been responsible for widespread economic and fish loss in salmonid aquaculture. With the emergence of AGD in Europe, research into infection dynamics and host response has increased. This study investigated the effect of repeat exposure to anaesthesia, a necessary requirement when following disease progression in individual fish, on N. perurans. In vitro cultures of N. perurans were exposed every 4 days over a 28‐day period to AQUI‐S^® (isoeugenol), a popular anaesthetic choice for AGD challenges, at a concentration and duration required to sedate post‐smolt salmonids. Population growth was measured by sequential counts of amoeba over the period, while viability of non‐attached amoeba in the culture was assessed with a vital stain. AQUI‐S^® was found to be a suitable choice for in vivo ectoparasitic challenges with N. perurans during which repetitive anaesthesia is required for analysis of disease progression.     

Bioactive and Fragrant Constituents of Artemisia sieberi Besser Grown on Two Different Soil Types in Central Iran

The dried leaves and aerial parts of Artemisia sieberi Besser, which belongs to the Asteraceae family (Anthemideae) and grows in central Iran, were hydrodistilled to produce essential oils. The oil concentrations of the leaves and aerial parts were 0.32% and 0.79% (w/w), respectively. The essential oils were analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The amounts of the samples injected were 1.0 nL (diluted 1.0 μL of sample in 1000 ml of n-pentane, v/v). Twenty-three and 14 bioactive, flavor, and fragrance molecules were identified, representing 99.04% and 99.40% of the aerial parts’ essential oils from sites A and B, respectively. Aerial parts of the plants and the habitat soils were sampled at random in full flowering stages in a completely randomized (CR) design with three replications from two sites with different soil types. The main components were trans-methyl isoeugenol (32.60%) in the first site (A) and β-bisabolene (33.59%) in the second site (B) oils. The compositions of the oils were mostly quantitatively rather than qualitatively different.
