Description In the present investigation anesthetic efficacy of sodium bicarbonate on yellow seahorse Hippocampus kuda was studied. Captive bred two years old (163.2?10.2 mm height and 12.22?1.94 g weight) yellow seahorses were exposed to 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 25, 30, 40 and 50g L-1 concentrations of sodium bicarbonate. It was observed that very high dose of sodium bicarbonate (more than 30g L-1) was needed to completely anesthetise adult seahorses. The onset of individual phases of anaesthesia and recovery times depended significantly on the concentration of the anaesthetic used (P
