Objetivo
The overall objective of the project is to develop prototype equipment for humane slaughter of the selected farmed fish species, namely eel (Anguilla anguilla), tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) and turbot (Psetta maxima). Humane slaughter consists of stunning (rendering unconscious without avoidable stress prior to killing). Feasibility criteria rule out individual handling of the concerned species. The aim is therefore to develop prototype equipment for electrical stunning, as this can be applied to batches of fish in water.
The proposed project will:
- model electrical stunning so that the required parameters for effective stunning with high quality standards can be predicted for the selected fish species and other species
- establish requirements for stunning of the species with respect to product quality and welfare
- design, build four prototypes (one for each species) for electrical stunning
