ANESTHETIC IS A METHOD USED IN THE AQUACULTURE INDUSTRY TO REDUCE FISH STRESS DURING THE HARVESTING AND TRANSPORTATION PROCESS. VARIOUS TYPES OF FISH ANESTHESIA HAVE BEEN INTRODUCED IN THE MARKET THAT USES INGREDIENTS FROM ORGANIC PLANTS SUCH AS TOBACCO AND CLOVE THAT HAVE BEEN STUDIED TO INDUCE SLEEP IN FISH SUCH AS CARP BY USING ANESTHESIA DOSES OF 15ml/L TO 75ml/L BUT THE FISH ANESTHESIA MADE FROM ORGANIC PLANTS THAT WE FIND IS MIMOSA HAS NOT BEEN INTRODUCED BY ANYONE YET. THE ANASTHETIC IS EXTRACTED FROM MIMOSA TREE BARK AND SOAKED WITH (70%) ETHANOL FOR 2 MONTH. OUR INNOVATION (FINSEDATE) CAN ANESTHETIZE CATFISH IN UNDER 10 MINUTES. THIS ANESTHETIC ACIDIFY THE WATER QUALITY AND LOWERS DISSOLVED OXYGEN IN THE WATER. THE IMPROVEMENT SHOULD BE DONE IS FINDING THE CORRECT DOSAGE FOR ANAESTHETIZED FISH.
