Abstract
Some effects of alternating current electronarcosis and of rectified current electronarcosis on C.
carpio were investigated. In all instances recovery from narcosis was accompanied by convulsive spasms.
Haemorrhaging of the gills was also observed to occur. Carp do not appear to be suitable candidates for
electronarcosis.
