Aim of this project is to establish new research methods for the evaluation of immediate physiological responses of Atlantic salmon to putative painful procedures. Establishment of normal (baseline) values for the selected paramters, and the conduct of a pain experiment showing the magnitude and time-course of response to selected stimuli form part of the work plan. The project will contribute to the further development of our knowledge on apin perception, discomfort and distress in fish, and to the impro vement of experimental animal science in teleosts. With the increasing focus on animal welfare both in commercial aquaculture and in fish research, there is an urgent need for original and sophisticated research on biomedical aspects of fish welfsare in t he major Norwegian cultured species, the Atlantic salmon.
