This study investigated electro-anesthesia of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in comparison with MS222 and clove oil by using plasma cortisol and glucose level as stress indicators. A microcontroller-based apparatus was designed and constructed to allow a programmable voltage-time pulse-width modulated (PWM) electrical wave (AC) application through 19×20 cm submersible electrodes for 91 s in a 33 cm long tank to induce loss of equilibrium and immobility with re...
