  • Humane Harvesting Initiative: the Influence of Humane Harvesting on Fish Quality, 2 Nutritional Value and Safety
    1 Humane Harvesting Initiative: The Influence of Humane Harvesting on Fish Quality, 2 Nutritional Value and Safety 3 2012 estimates put the global production of fisheries and aquaculture at 158 mmt, with 91.3 mmt 4 of that amount credited to capture and fisheries (FAO, 2014). Recently, fish welfare has been 5 gaining interest from both consumers and the fisheries industry (producers) concerning the 6 production, processing, quality, shelf life and nutritional value (Poli et al., 2005). Technically, it 7 is difficult to define and measure the welfare of fish in fisheries. According to Spruijt et al. 8 (2001), welfare is defined as “the balance between positive and negative experiences or affective 9 states. The state of this balance may range from positive (good welfare) to negative (bad 10 welfare).” In the case of fisheries, good welfare means good production at the end of the fish’s 11 life, and is determined by the handling of two important processes: the pre-slaughter procedure 12 and the final slaughter method employed. If these two steps are conducted in bad conditions, fish 13 will experience stress which can strongly impact their quality and nutritional value. However, 14 there are instructions, rules and methods for terrestrial animal welfare and humane slaughtering, 15 even if they haven’t been effectively made available. 16 History of Animal Welfare in U.S.A. 17 The first attempts at humane slaughtering and improved animal welfare practices date back to the 18 late 1800s when several new organizations were established in the United States, many linked to 19 the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, which was founded by Mary Ellen Wilson 20 in 1873.

  • Fish Welfare in Recreational Fishing
    Chapter 19 Fish Welfare in Recreational Fishing Keno Ferter, Steven J. Cooke, Odd-Børre Humborstad, Jonatan Nilsson, and Robert Arlinghaus Abstract Recreational fishing is a popular activity around the globe, and fish welfare issues related to the activity have received increasing attention in some countries, particularly in central and northern Europe and Australia. This chapter offers an introduction to recreational fishing, reviews literature on fish welfare in relation to recreational fishing and provides an overview of potential biological impacts and ways to reduce such impacts. We first focus on the question on how to reduce impacts on the welfare of the fish during recreational fishing. Second, we describe two case studies highlighting that practical implications of the fish welfare discourse may be disjointed from the scientific information base and be rather about fundamental moral questions about the ethical acceptability of the activity per se. We end by providing an outlook on the future of recreational fishing in the light of the current fish welfare discourse. Keywords Best practice guidelines · Catch-and-release · Fish welfare · Function- based approach · Recreational fishing · Sublethal impacts Recreational fishing is a popular activity around the globe (Arlinghaus et al. 2015, 2019). Apart from the recognized biological and socio-economic importance of recreational fishing, fish welfare issues related to the activity have received increas- ing attention in some countries and in the academic literature (Huntingford et al. 2006; Arlinghaus et al. 2007a, b, 2012b; Cooke and Sneddon 2007; Volpato 2009; Arlinghaus and Schwab 2011).

The response to stress starts in the brain and is followed by biochemical changes in the blood and subsequent behavioral changes. There are differences between fish welfare in aquaculture and fisheries. In aquaculture, the welfare could be controlled by managing the crowding, feeding, handling, disease, transportation, drug administration, water quality, temperature fluctuations, harvesting or slaughtering. However, in case of fisheries, the welfare is associated with pre-harvesting (pre-slaughtering) and slaughtering procedures. Stressful conditions result in biochemical changes in plasma followed by the texture and nutritional value changes in. Due to stress, the physical movement of muscles will be increased, the energy sources (mainly adenosine triphosphate (ATP)) are depleted, and lactic acid in muscles increased which can drop the post mortem pH levels in muscle. In addition, there is a relationship between fish welfare and food safety risk for consumers. Due to the stress, the intestinal microflora change, which the pathogenic bacteria can be colonized which the safety of the final products can be influenced.
