Abstract

In comparison to "pre-stress" levels, goldfish anesthetized with methylpentynol and "handled" showed a significant increase in serum glucose level one day after handling, and apparent continued effects for the next three days. Fish handled but not anesthetized, and control fish which were neither anesthetized nor handled did not exhibit similar changes.
