Abstract

Aim: The study was carried out to evaluate metabolism performance of Labeo Rohita fish to findout relation of metabolism in terms of oxygen consumption in three anaesthetics i.e. Nitrazepam, Pentothal sodium and Ketamine hydrochloride.

Materials and Methods: Three anaesthetics i.e. Nitrazepam, Pentothal sodium and Ketamine hydrochloride were used metabolism performance of Labeo Rohita fish.

Results: Fishes anaesthetised with all the three anaesthetics i.e. Nitrazepam, Pentothal sodium and Ketamine hydrochloride exhibited low oxygen consumption as compared to the control Labeo rohita fish. Besides this, metabolism observation was medium and exhibited notable increase in free carbondixoide and ammonia, and decline in pH of the termination of experiments with nitrazepam, pentothal sodium and ketamins.

Conclusion: It was concluded that oxygen consumption showed more or less a linear relationship with time, whereas the relationship was inverse in case of oxygen consumption rate (OCR) and time.
