Abstract
The anaesthetic effects of clove powder were studied in juvenile great sturgeon. Haematological parameters were assessed before, immediately after and 24 h after 10 min of anaesthesia using clove powder at 175, 225, 275 and 350 mg/L concentrations. The 10-min exposure to clove powder caused a significant increase (P < 0.05) in the haematocrit, haemoglobin and total erythrocyte count after anaesthesia. These values returned back to normal within 24 h. Clove powder anaesthesia had no effect on any other haematological parameter measured. Results of the examinations suggest that the use of clove powder at the concentrations of 175, 225, 275 and 350 mg/L does not cause irreversible damage of the blood parameters in juvenile great sturgeon.
