RUALES, Carlos Arturo David; GUERRA JIMENEZ, Manuel Oswaldo; CANO GIL, Juan David y BETANCUR GONZALEZ, Eliana Marcela. Clove Oil (Eugenol®) as an Anesthetic in the Species Panaque Cochliodon-Steindachner, 1879 (Blue-Eyed Pleco). Rev. Lasallista Investig. [online]. 2022, vol.19, n.1, pp.182-194. Epub 07-Feb-2023.

Introduction:
the blue-eyed pleco {Panaque cochliodon) is a species endemic to the Cauca and Magdalena basin. However, not much information is available on this species, including the absence of an adequate sedation protocol for captive work with this species.
Objetive:
this research standardizes a sedation protocol for P. cochliodon.
Materials and methods:
for this purpose, different dosages and concentrations of the sedative Eugenol ranging from 20 to 40 mg/L were evaluated and 4 types of sedation and 5 types of recovery were adopted, thus finding the appropriate degrees of sedation for the different confinement management procedures that were performed with this species.
Results:
all specimens reached type 4 sedation and type 5 recovery without mortality. Significantly, the concentration at which the specimens took the longest time to achieve type 4 sedation and type 5 recovery was 20 mg / L, the other concentrations did not show differences between them, but indicate an inverse trend with respect to the concentration and experimental time.
Conclusions:
all the concentrations evaluated are safe for the management of P. cochliodon of 314 ± 11.6 gr, there was no mortality; concentrations of 30 to 35 mg / L, offer 2.6 minutes of work, without apparent deleterious effects on the species.
