Emerging indicators of fish welfare in aquaculture (2021, background): “As for feeding behaviour, a limitation of growth measurements as a welfare indicator is that growth is affected by many factors other than welfare state, and is not always impeded when welfare is poor 127 – 129 .”
Fish stress and mortality can be predicted using reflex impairment (2010, methodology): “Technical personnel in field operations routinely observe spontaneous activity, responsiveness and gross wounding or infection as pre-clinical signs of fish vitality, and subsequently make intuitive decisions about welfare, health care and culture conditions based on previous experience of mortality”
Effect of stocking density and feeding level on energy expenditure and stress responsiveness in European sea bass Dicentrarchus labrax (2010, background): “Particular attention has been drawn to stocking density as one of the key factors to influence the perceived level of stress in fish (Ellis et al., 2002; Turnbull et al., 2005; North et al., 2006).”
The biological requirements for post-smolt Atlantic salmon in closed-containment systems (2011, background): “In salmonid aquaculture, it has been similarly suggested that increased densitymay cause various tertiary stress responses, including increased mortality, increased metabolism, reduced growth rate, increased size variation, reduced feed intake, increased FCR, poor health condition and agonistic beha”
Welfare Indicators for farmed Atlantic salmon: Tools for assessing fish welfare (2018, background): “Further, it is dependent upon several variables including life stage, water quality, current speed, feed availability and feeding regime, rearing system and various other husbandry routines and practices [105].”
Effects of stocking density on the performance of juvenile pirarucu (Arapaima gigas) in cages (2012, unknown): “5 to 34 kg/m(3) for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) in 120–2000-m(3) cages (Oppedal et al., 2011; Turnbull et al., 2005).”
Multiple determinants of welfare in farmed fish: stocking density, disturbance, and aggression in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) (2007, result): “Similar conclusions were reached in a companion study of salmon in sea cages (Turnbull et al. 2005).”
Salmon Welfare Index Model (SWIM 1.0): a semantic model for overall welfare assessment of caged Atlantic salmon: review of the selected welfare indicators and model presentation (2013, background): “K is negatively correlated with plasma glucose and cortisol (Turnbull et al. 2005).”
Effects of dietary protein levels and rearing density on growth performance and stress response of Nile tilapia, oreochromis niloticus (L.) (2012, background): “Particular attention has been paid to stocking density as one of the key factors to influence the perceived level of stress in fish (Ellis et al. 2002; Turnbull et al. 2005).”
