ABSTRACT

2-Phenoxyethanol was used as an anaesthetic to translocate 102 species of fishes representing 30 families from the Sea World aquarium on Durban's beachfront to uShaka Marine World. Most fishes responded well to a final anaesthetic concentration of 0,150 mí/í and there were no mortalities.

Keywords: Anaesthetic, fishes, 2-Phenoxyethanol, public aquarium, translocation
