Abstract
In this study, safety dose of Hydrosol of Rosemary (Rosemarinus officinalis) for carp (Cyprinus carpio) was investigated. Powdered Rosemary leaves were mixed with deionised water and then distilled. Hydrosol was added into aquariums at 5 %, 7.5 % and 10 proportions. Temperature, pH, hardness and disolved oxygen of the water were recorded before and after addition of Hydrosol. Mortality period of fish was determined for given Hydrosol proportions. No behavioural changes were observed in fish at 5 % Hydrosol proportions. But fish laid on its side after 17 minutes, become breathless and jumped after 32 minutes and died after 92 minutes at 0.075 % Hydrosol. 0.1 % proportions, fish laid on its side at first 25 minutes and dies after 85 minutes.
