Abnormality in body curvature of Cyprinus carpio after injection of anaesthetics.
Abnormalities in the body curvatures were noticed in Cyprinus carpio after the injection of anaesthetics, viz. paraldehyde, tertiary butyl alcohol and butanol. These abnormalities occurred behind the dorsal fin and progressively developed over a period of four months. The abnormalities affect the locomotion and speed of swimming of the fish and appear to be due to toxic effects of the anaesthetics.
