The effects of commonly used anaesthetics on colour measurements across body regions in the poeciliid fish, Girardinus metallicus

Abstract: The effects of common anaesthetics on the hue, saturation and brightness measurements of the poeciliid fish Girardinus metallicus were investigated in two experiments. For both experiments the coloration of four body regions was measured from digital images of the same males obtained under three conditions: (1) control (in a water‐filled chamber); (2) anaesthetised with MS‐222; and (3) anaesthetised with eugenol (clove oil). In experiment 1 anaesthetised fish were photographed out of water. In experiment 2 all… Show more

“…This shows that each type of fish has a different tolerance to clove oil (Fernandez et al, 2017). According to Wojan et al, (2019) The use of anesthesia using either clove oil or MS-222 can cause discoloration of the fish's body. In fish that were given anesthesia, there was a difference in color compared to the control, there was an increase in saturation and a decrease in brightness.…”
