“…Eugenol has a multitude of properties making it useful in a wide variety of applications, including as an antioxidant (Kramer, 1985;Pulla and Lokesh, 1992), antifungal (Kamble and Patil, 2008;Hoskonen et al 2015), antibacterial (Karapmar and Aktug,1987;Kouidhi et al, 2010) or as an antiparasitic agent (Machado et al, 2011). Several studies have shown that clove oil is an effective agent in the sedation of larvae (Akbulut et al, 2011a), fry (Endo et al, 1972;Woolsey et al, 2004;Akbulut et al, 2012a), juvenile (Keene et al, 1998;Uçar and Atamanalp, 2010;Akbulut et al, 2011b) and adult fish of various species (Hikasa et al, 1986;Wagner et al, 2002;Hoskonen and Pirhonen, 2004). Among flatfish species, clove oil efficacy has been tested on the sole Solea senegalensis (Weber et al, 2009) and on the flounder Platichthys flesus (Akbulut et al, 2012b), but it has never been tested on the anaesthesia of turbot Psetta maximawith relation to temperature and fish size.…”
