Physiological response of Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) to long-term exposure to an anesthetic obtained from heterosigma akashiwo
Despite the invaluable role of anesthetics as a tool for ensuring animal welfare in stressful situations, there is currently a lack of anesthetic drugs that meet the requirements of intensive aquaculture. In response to the growing interest in anesthetic substances of natural origin, this study eval...
