Table 3 Effects of clove oil and MS-222 doses on recovery in large-sized and small-sized Far Eastern catfish, Silurus asotus^*

Dose (mgL⁻¹)	Recovery time (sec)
	Clove oil		MS-222
	Large size	Small size	Large size	Small size
200	190±26.2^a	133±13.2^ab	377±46.6^a	102±11.9^a
300	183±10.1^ab	131±14.2^ab	285±41.6^b	108±5.5^b
400	179±10.1^ab	129±9.4^ba	274±61.8^bc	109±8.0^b
500	173±8.7^b	129±13.6^ba	206±28.4^c	113±9.5^c
600	170±10.3^b	129±10.3^ba	204±29.6^c	114±9.5^c

Each value is the mean±SD of a triplicate experiment (total n=60). Values in the same column not sharing common superscripts are significantly different (p<0.05). Large-sized specimens were sourced from 1-year-old hatchlings with an average body mass of 302.1±15.22 g and a standard length of 31.5±4.19 cm. Small-sized specimens were sourced from 2-month-old hatchlings with an average body mass of 50.1±5.91 g and a standard length of 15.5±1.58 cm.
