Assessing the effectiveness of an electricalstunning and chilling protocol for theslaughter of Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus)
Anders, Neil; Roth, Bjørn; Grimsbø, Endre; Breen, Michael (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-09-04)Inducing unconsciousness in fish using electrical stunning prior to slaughter may improve fish welfare and fillet quality if such practises can be disseminated into wild capture fisheries. The objectives of this study were ... -
Behavioural and welfare implications of a new slipping methodology for purse seine fisheries in Norwegian waters
Anders, Neil; Breen, Michael; Saltskår, Jostein; Totland, Bjørn; Øvredal, Jan Tore; Vold, Aud (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-03-11)The release of unwanted fish from purse seines whilst still in the water is termed slipping and may lead to significant mortality following release. The objective of this study was to determine the fish welfare implications ... -
The effect of pot design on behaviour and catch efficiency of gadoids
Anders, Neil (Master thesis, 2015-05-29)The behavioural response of fish to pots is poorly understood but is a vital component of the fish capture process. Here, the behaviour of gadoids prior to and after capture in different baited fish pot designs was observed ... -
Effects on individual level behaviour in mackerel (Scomber scombrus) of sub-lethal capture related stressors: Crowding and hypoxia
Anders, Neil; Howarth, Kirsten; Totland, Bjørn; Handegard, Nils Olav; Tenningen, Maria; Breen, Michael (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-03-13)Stress to fish during harvest in wild capture fisheries is known to negatively influence subsequent survival in catches that are released. Therefore, if fisheries are to be conducted sustainably, there is a need to promote ... -
Effects on schooling function in mackerel of sub-lethal capture related stressors: Crowding and hypoxia
Handegard, Nils Olav; Tenningen, Maria; Howarth, Kirsten; Anders, Neil; Rieucau, Guillaume; Breen, Michael (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-12-28)The selectivity of fishing gears with respect to fish species and size is important, both for fisheries management and fishing operations. Purse seining is an efficient, environmentally friendly fish capture methodology ... -
Physiological and flesh quality consequences of pre-mortem crowding stress in Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus)
Anders, Neil; Eide, Ida; Lerfall, Jørgen; Roth, Bjørn; Breen, Michael (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-02-13)In commercial wild capture pelagic fisheries it is common practice to crowd catches to high densities to allow efficient pumping onboard. Crowding during the final stages of purse seine capture for small pelagic species ...
