Bustos. 2009 “Salmon Aquaculture Dialogue Working Group Report on Salmon Disease” commissioned by the Salmon Aquaculture Dialogue, available at http://wwf.worldwildlife.org/site/PageNavigator/SalmonSOIForm Corresponding author: Larry Hammell, email: [email protected] This report was commissioned by the Salmon Aquaculture Dialogue. The Salmon Dialogue is a multi-stakeholder, multi-national group which was initiated by the World Wildlife Fund in 2004. Participants include salmon producers and other members of the market chain, NGOs, researchers, retailers, and government officials from major salmon producing and consuming countries. The goal of the Dialogue is to credibly develop and support the implementation of measurable, performance-based standards that minimize or eliminate the key negative environmental and social impacts of salmon farming, while permitting the industry to remain economically viable The Salmon Aquaculture Dialogue focuses their research and standard development on seven key areas of impact of salmon production including: social; feed; disease; salmon escapes; chemical inputs; benthic impacts and siting; and, nutrient loading and carrying capacity. Funding for this report and other Salmon Aquaculture Dialogue supported work is provided by the members of the Dialogue‘s steering committee and their donors.

  • Guidelines for the Use of Fishes in Research
    Reference Resources Caveats from AAALAC’s Council on Accreditation regarding this resource: “Guidelines for the Use of Fishes in Research” Use of Fishes in Research Committee (joint committee of the American Fisheries Society, the American Institute of Fishery Research Biologists, and the American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists), 2014. *This reference was adopted by the Council on Accreditation with the following four clarifications: Clarifications: #1. On page 27, the Guidelines for the Use of Fishes in Research state that “[t]he preferred method for archival storage is direct immersion in a 10% formalin (3.7% formaldehyde) solution, followed by transfer to alcohol (70% ethanol, un-denatured preferred) for long-term preservation and storage, as with voucher specimens.” The document goes on to state later in the same paragraph that “[w]hen study interests demand that specimens be fixed without prior treatment with sedatives, the specimens can be numbed in ice water, or for small fishes, immersed directly in liquid nitrogen (see section 8.1 Euthanasia).” In these instances, death is either by fixation in a formalin solution or by freezing in liquid nitrogen, which are both considered unacceptable as a primary means of euthanasia by the AVMA. AAALAC International utilizes the AVMA Guidelines on Euthanasia and recommends this document, and applicable legal requirements be referred to for further guidance. #2. On page 6, the Guidelines for the Use of Fishes in Research discuss mortality as an experimental endpoint. The Guide emphasizes that studies should include descriptions of appropriate humane endpoints or provide science-based justification for not using a particular, commonly accepted humane endpoint.

You Don’t Need Lungs to Suffer: Fish Suffering in the Age of Climate Change with a Call for Regulatory Reform David N Cassuto* & Amy M O’Brien** Fish are sentient — they feel pain and suffer. Yet, while we see increasing interest in protecting birds and mammals in industries such as farming and research (albeit few laws), no such attention has been paid to the suffering of fish in the fishing industry. Consideration of fish welfare including reducing needless suffering should be a component of fisheries management.

However, slaughter yields cannot be measured on live fish and thus their genetic improvement through mass selection is impossible. The usual alternatives are sib selection and/or indirect selection on correlated traits or morphological predictors of slaughter yields.

  • Fishy Reasoning and the Ethics of Eating
    52 BETWEEN THE SPECIES Fishy Reasoning and the Ethics of Eating ABSTRACT Ethical vegetarians believe that it is morally wrong to eat meat. Yet, many self-ascribed “ethical vegetarians” continue to eat fish. The question I explore here is this: Can one coherently maintain that it is morally wrong to eat meat, but morally permissible to eat fish? I argue that it is morally inconsistent for ethical vegetarians to eat fish, not on the obvious yet superficial ground that fish flesh is meat, but on the morally substantive ground that fish are sentient intelligent beings capable of experiencing morally significant pain and thus de- serve moral consideration equal to that owed birds and mammals. Mylan Engel Jr. Northern Illinois University Volume 23, Issue 1 Winter 2019 © Mylan Engel Jr., 2019 http://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/bts/ 53 Mylan Engel Jr. Answer me, machinist, has nature arranged all the means of feeling in this animal, so that it may not feel? has it nerves in order to be impassible? Do not suppose this impertinent contradiction in nature. ~~Voltaire Ethical vegetarians abstain from eating meat on moral grounds. They believe that it is morally wrong to eat meat. Yet, many self-ascribed “ethical vegetarians” continue to eat fish. Indeed, many philosophers and ethicists who regard them- selves as “ethical vegetarians” continue to eat fish. The ques- tion I wish to explore here is this: Can one coherently maintain that it is morally wrong to eat meat, but morally permissible to eat fish? In what follows, I argue that it is morally inconsistent for ethical vegetarians to eat fish, not on the obvious yet super- ficial ground that fish flesh is meat, but on the morally substan- tive ground that fish deserve moral consideration equal to that owed birds and mammals.
