  • The Evolution of the Placenta Drives a Shift in Sexual Selection in Livebearing Fish

Todo este conocimiento alcanzado hasta el momento era imprescindible comenzarlo a divulgar, por lo cual se inicia la edición de la revista impresa; muy simple y modesta al inicio pero con los deseos y la perspectiva de ampliar su formato y llegar a otros niveles de consumo como se planteó en la Carta Editorial del primer número.

Eldredge Pacific Science Association Honolulu, Hawaii, USA South Pacific Commission Noumea, New Caledonia PERSPECTIVES IN AQUATIC EXOTIC SPECIES MANAGEMENT IN THE PACIFIC ISLANDS VOLUME 1 INTRODUCTIONS OF COMMERCIALLY SIGNIFICANT AQUATIC ORGANISMS TO THE PACIFIC ISLANDS by L.G. Eldredge Pacific Science Association Honolulu, Hawaii, USA South Pacific Commission Noumea, New Caledonia March 1994 INTRODUCTION Documentation of animals introduced to Pacific islands since European contact is for the most part anecdotal. Long-term, quantitative studies have not been conducted in the marine environment as they have in other areas. The purpose of this review is to record the intentional and accidental in- troduction of aquatic plants and animals to the Pacific islands (the area encompassed by the South Pacific Commission). Plants and animals are distributed either intentionally or accidentally. Five periods of introductions for aquatic and terrestrials animals have been proposed (Eldredge, 1992). A sixth period is added herein. In summary these periods are: 1. The early period of settlement of islands by traditional voyagers when traditional life styles were maintained. This continuation of life style has been interpreted as 'transported landscapes' by anthropologists (Kirch, 1982a and 1982b). Roberts (1991) described voyager-related rat dispersal among the islands as early as 3100 to 2500 B.P. It was during this time that chickens, dogs, pigs, etc. were intentionally carried around.

  • Can Fish Suffer?: Perspectives on Sentience, Pain, Fear and Stress
    Applied Animal Behaviour Science 86 (2004) 225–250 Can fish suffer?: perspectives on sentience, pain, fear and stress K.P. Chandroo, I.J.H. Duncan, R.D. Moccia∗ Department of Animal and Poultry Sciences, University of Guelph, Guelph, Ont., Canada N1G 2W1 Abstract In contrast to other major forms of livestock agriculture, there is a paucity of scientific information on the welfare of fish raised under intensive aquacultural conditions. This reflects an adherence to the belief that these animals have not evolved the salient biological characteristics that are hypothesised to permit sentience. In this review, we evaluate the scientific evidence for the existence of sentience in fish, and in particular, their ability to experience pain, fear and psychological stress. Teleost fish are considered to have marked differences in some aspects of brain structure and organization as compared to tetrapods, yet they simultaneously demonstrate functional similarities and a level of cognitive development suggestive of sentience. Anatomical, pharmacological and behavioural data suggest that affective states of pain, fear and stress are likely to be experienced by fish in similar ways as in tetrapods. This implies that fish have the capacity to suffer, and that welfare consideration for farmed fish should take these states into account. We suggest that the concept of animal welfare can be applied legitimately to fish. It is therefore appropriate to recognize and study the welfare of farmed fish. © 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. Keywords: Animal welfare; Aquaculture; Fish; Sentience; Pain; Fear; Stress; Suffering 1. Introduction Finfish aquaculture is the production of any fish species, through artificial cultivation tech- niques, and embodies the primary objectives of increasing biomass and ensuring successful reproduction.
