Abstract
Magnolia denudata is a well-known ornamental tree in China due to its beautiful blossoms, and it has been used as an analgesic to treat human headaches. This study investigated the anesthetic potential and physiological response of the essential oil of M. denudata flowers on spotted seabass Lateolabrax maculatus. Fish (mean ± SD, 164.16 ± 15.40 g) were individually exposed to different concentrations of M. denudata essential oil (MDO, 10, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, and 120 mg/L) and eugenol (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, and 70 mg/L) to investigate anesthetic efficacy. Based on the ideal time criterion for anesthetic induction (< 3 min) and recovery (< 10 min), the lowest effective concentration for spotted seabass was 100 mg/L for MDO and 60 mg/L for eugenol. The physiological and histopathological damage in the gill of L. maculatus after using MDO and eugenol was also evaluated at the minimum dose inducing deep anesthesia, and at 0, 6, and 24 h after recovery. The results showed that MDO and eugenol anesthesia alleviated the levels of cortisol and glucose and the lactic dehydrogenase activity induced by handling. Compared with eugenol, MDO also caused secondary stress to the body, but MDO caused minor physiological responses and histological changes in the gills. This study suggests that MDO is an effective anesthetic for spotted seabass.
