The experiment of sedative efficacy and simulated transportation was conducted for 12 h in glass tanks (30 L capacity) and plastic bags (75 45 cm), respectively with different concentrations of tobacco leaf dust such as 0, 25, 50, 75, 100 and 125 mg L-1 among which 0 mg L-1 was used as control. The fingerlings (6.45 0.68 cm and 3.29 0.52 g) were stocked at a stocking density of 10 fishes/tank and 30 fishes/plastic bag in triplicates. The induction and recovery times observed in anaesthetic bath significantly got decreased and increased with increase in the concentrations of tobacco leaf dust. The lowest effective dose of tobacco that produced induction ( |
