Technical Spec.:

1.Quinaldine is used in anti-malaria   drugs, in manufacturing dyes, food colorants, pharmaceuticals, pH indicators.

2. Quinaldine has been used for fish   anesthesia and is more commonly used for collection of fish in tide pools and   coral reefs than is tricaine. In higher concentrations, it can cause a rapid   induction. Recovery characteristics are more variable than with tricaine, in   part because of the relatively uncontrolled dosing that occurs with the drug   in some applications. Quinaldine often does not completely stop muscle   movement, and many anesthetists find it more appropriate for sedation than   for induction of surgical anesthesia. Long-term sedation/anesthesia has been   associated with mortality. Quinaldine can be an irritant to gills and cause   corneal damage, particularly when administered at high concentrations for   rapid immobilization in captures or when using unbuffered stock solutions   administered directly onto the fish rather than mixing the stock into the   anesthesia bath water.
