Clove oil has been tested for anaesthesia induction and recovery time as well as for haematology and stress indicators in the gilthead sea bream and rainbow trout. The former parameters were compared with those generated by 2-phenoxyethanol. The results showed only slight differences between both anaesthetics in terms of anaesthetic efficiency and physiological effects. In addition, clove oil does not block the cortisol response to stress, as happens with other anaesthetics.

• Physiological responses of hybrid striped bass under sedation by several anesthetics (2004, background): “Sea bream Sparus aurata and rainbow trout Onchorynchus mykiss had increased cortisol concentrations in response to handling while exposed to clove oil (Tort et al., 2002); however, Small (2003) reported no cortisol increase in channel catfish anesthetized with clove oil.”
