HAVBRUKS-Havbruk - en næring i vekst

The use of rheotactic and optometry responses in order to slaughter salmon at a rested state

New legislations regarding slaughter practices of farmed fish in Norway are expected to be enforced by 2007. The directive is expected to ban the current use of carbon dioxide to anaesthetise the fish before bleeding, and only stunning methods which rende r the fish unconscious immediately (e.g. ...
