Behavioural effects of the commonly used fish anaesthetic tricaine methanesulfonate (ms-222) on zebrafish (danio rerio) and its relevance for the acetic acid pain test... We therefore tested the effect of tricaine methanesulfonate on the behaviour of zebrafish....
The effect of tricaine on use of the fluorescein test for detecting skin and corneal ulcers in fish... Examination of fish health and the clinical workup often require tricaine as one of the most commonly used anesthetics....
Anaesthetic tricaine acts preferentially on neural voltage-gated sodium channels and fails to block directly evoked muscle contraction.... In fish, the commonly used anaesthetic tricaine methanesulphonate, also known as 3-aminobenzoic acid ethyl ester, metacaine or MS-222, causes loss of consciousness....
Tricaine blocks muscle contraction at high concentrations.... Comparison of tail displacement (d) as a function of successively increasing tricaine concentration in fixe mutants and their siblings....
