Immersion-administered lidocaine as an adjuvant to clove essential oil in Nile tilapia: raw data

This dataset contains raw data from an immersion anesthesia study in juvenile Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) assessing clove essential oil (100 µL/L) alone or combined with lidocaine (60 or 80 mg/L). Data includes individual fish metadata (body weight, length, Fulton’s condition factor), anesthesia endpoints (time to vertical loss, time to anesthetic plane, and recovery time), and opercular respiratory rate recorded every 20 s for 180 s during induction and recovery.
