Abstract
Survival rate and damage to skin of Clarius batrachus during live storage in water containing tranquilizer tricaine methane sulphonate (M.S.222) at 0, 40, 50 and 60 ppm were studied. 50 ppm M.S.222 was found ideal for storing live fish. During 6 days storage the survival rate in summer was 86.4% and 89.0% in winter. When the concentration of M.S.222 was increased or decreased the mortality rate increased.
