It has been just over a month since I ran this experiment just for the fun of it, for my interest and for those who’re following me in my journey of collating more useful and fun information about fish health.
I was sent some BioChips to try. I had a little spare time and the equipment and facilities to do so. Plus my son could help me out a little bit.
The results were interesting.

The Virulent bacteria that helped cause the near-ruin of two large oyster hatcheries in the Pacific Northwest have been mistakenly identified for years, researchers say in a recent report.
Just in case you wanted to see it…

So this is how it’s done!
They gradually increased the concentration of the substance from 0.5% to 2%. The investigators found that the animals lost the ability to respond to touch and their color paled, which means that their normal motor coordination of color regulation by the brain was lost, concluding that the animals were indeed anesthetized.
