Environmental enrichment reduces maladaptive risk-taking behavior in salmon reared for conservation (2011, methodology): “A health score was calculated by assessing the degree of opercular (left, right) and fin (caudal, dorsal) erosion on a scale from 0 (nil) to 3 (heavily eroded) using a procedure similar to that described in Hoyle et al. (2007).”
Farmed fish welfare-suffering assessment and impact on product quality (2009, background): “Fin damage in rainbow trout has been recently highlighted both as a welfare and quality issue, because it reduces the economic value of farmed fish (Hoyle et al., 2007).”
Submergence of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) in commercial scale sea-cages: A potential short-term solution to poor surface conditions (2009, methodology): “This fin condition scale was based on that presented by Hoyle et al. (2007).”
