ABSTRACT
Ghazilou A, Chenary F, Evaluation of Rosemary oil anesthesia in carp, Onl J Vet Res., 15
(2): 112-118, 2011. The anesthetic effects of rosemary, Rosmarinus officinalis L. essential oil on the common carp, Cyprinus carpio was
evaluated. Applied concentrations ranging from 0.25 to 1 mL/L resulted in
effective sedation and recovery (induction time ≤3 min, recovery
time ≤10 min) of almost all examined fish without significant
alterations on blood biochemistry. Rosemary essential oil displayed distinct
general anesthetic-like properties in carp.
