Cover Story: The increased popularity of zebrafish as a research model calls for the refinement of procedures, such as finding the best anaesthetic protocol to use in adult zebrafish in a laboratory setting. The scarce literature available regarding aversion described the most-used anaesthetic (MS222) as aversive to adult zebrafish. Thus, we studied the impact of three different anaesthetic protocols (a combination of propofol with lidocaine, clove oil, and etomidate) and the standard anaesthetic (MS222) on the zebrafish aversion and on cortisol levels. Our results suggested that all the anaesthetic protocols, except for etomidate, were valid candidates to use in a laboratory setting, although none were innocuous. View this paper
