Method and device for anesthetizing fish

To safely and practically simply anesthetize fish over a long period of time in an underwater environment which contains a high concentration of carbon dioxide having an anesthetic effect. By contacting gaseous oxygen-containing microbubbles with the branchial epithelial cell membrane surface of fish, a difference between partial pressures [(partial pressure of gaseous oxygen) - (partial pressure of oxygen dissolved in branchial capillary vessels)], which is larger than a difference between partial pressures [(partial pressure of oxygen dissolved in water) - (partial pressure of oxygen dissolved in branchial capillary vessels)], is created so that the amount of oxygen taken into branchial plate capillary vessels is remarkably increased. Thus, the fish can be anesthetized with carbon dioxide over a long period of time at a water temperature (about 20 DEG C) commonly employed for handling fishes while avoiding respiratory failure that occurs during spontaneous respiratory movements suppressed by the anesthesia.
