Welfare indicators
Research on fish suffering during slaughter relies on measures to indicate whether the fish are conscious and experiencing pain. Some indicators used by welfare studies include
- Behavior: Swimming, gill movement, eye movement in response to body reorientation, reaction when turned upside down, etc.
Inhumane methods
Air asphyxiation
Ice bath
CO2 narcosis
Potentially more humane methods
Percussive stunning
Spiking
Electrical stunning
Current research
Regulations
