Applications of AQUI-S® Versatile Aquatic Anaesthetic

AQUI-S^® is a gentle-acting aquatic anaesthetic suitable for use in a wide range of aquatic animals – finfish, crustaceans, eels, molluscs and elasmobranchs. AQUI-S^® has a wide safety margin and can be used to reduce stress across all gilled stages of the animal's lifecycle - from broodstock stripping to the terminal harvest.

AQUI-S^® is a versatile aquatic anaesthetic that can be used in a dose-dependent manner from light sedation, suitable for disease treatments and transport, to full anaesthesia for health checks, vaccination and surgery. AQUI-S^® is also an internationally recognised tool for managing welfare during fish euthanasia.
