Fish welfare: Current issues in aquaculture
TLDR
The scientific data that allows us to interpret the effects of disease, handling, transport, food deprivation, and slaughter technique on fish welfare are reviewed and caution should be taken when interpreting "abnormal" fish behaviour.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Use of plant extracts in fish aquaculture as an alternative to chemotherapy: Current status and future perspectives
TL;DR: The studies carried out on the use of plant products on fish aquaculture and their biological effects on fish such as growth promoter, immunostimulant, antibacterial and anti-parasitic are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immunological Control of Fish Diseases
TL;DR: Fish are the first animal phyla to possess both an innate and adaptive immune system making them very interesting as regards developmental studies of the immune system, and the main prophylactic measures, including vaccination, probiotics and immunostimulation are covered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Teleost microbiomes: the state of the art in their characterization, manipulation and importance in aquaculture and fisheries
Martin S. Llewellyn,Martin S. Llewellyn,Sébastien Boutin,Seyed Hossein Hoseinifar,Nicolas Derome +4 more
TL;DR: An explosion in research in this sector is predicted in line with the increasing global demand for fish protein, and the need to find sustainable approaches to improve aquaculture yield, with the reduced cost and increasing ease of next generation sequencing technologies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nutrition and health of aquaculture fish.
TL;DR: It is becoming evident that diets overfortified with specific nutrients at levels above requirement may improve health condition and disease resistance in fish, and functional constituents other than essential nutrients are also currently being considered in fish nutrition.

TL;DR: This review summarises the main findings on how behavioural changes have been used to assess welfare in farmed fish, using both functional and feeling-based approaches and underlines the need to develop on-farm, operational behavioural welfare indicators that can be easily used to assessed not only the individual welfare but also the welfare of the whole group.

The stress response in fish
TL;DR: Although the species studied comprise a small and nonrepresentative sample of the almost 20,000 known teleost species, there are many indications that the stress response is variable and flexible in fish, in line with the great diversity of adaptations that enable these animals to live in a large variety of aquatic habitats.

Effect of aquaculture on world fish supplies
Rosamond L. Naylor,Rebecca J. Goldburg,Jurgenne H. Primavera,Nils Kautsky,Malcolm Beveridge,Jason Clay,Carl Folke,Jane Lubchenco,Harold A. Mooney,Max Troell +9 more
TL;DR: If the growing aquaculture industry is to sustain its contribution to world fish supplies, it must reduce wild fish inputs in feed and adopt more ecologically sound management practices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cortisol in teleosts: dynamics, mechanisms of action, and metabolic regulation
TL;DR: This review attempts to delineate common themes on the physiological and metabolic roles of cortisol in teleost fishes and to suggest new approaches that might overcome some of the inconsistencies on the role of this multifaceted hormone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stress in Fishes: A Diversity of Responses with Particular Reference to Changes in Circulating Corticosteroids
TL;DR: Fishes display a wide variation in their physiological responses to stress, which is clearly evident in the plasma corticosteroid changes, chiefly cortisol in actinopterygian fishes, that occur following a stressful event.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stereotypies: a critical review.
TL;DR: Stereotypies are repetitive, invariant behaviour patterns with no obvious goal or function as discussed by the authors, and they seem to be restricted to captive animals, mentally ill or handicapped humans, and subjects given stimulant drugs.
