Pain and Emotion in Fishes – Fish Welfare Implications for Fisheries and Aquaculture
| Contributor(s):: Culum Brown, Catherine Dorey
Scientists have built a significant body of research that shows that fishes display all the features commonly associated with intelligence in mammals, and that they experience stress, fear and pain. These findings have significant ramifications for animal welfare legislation, an area from which...

Bipartite networks improve understanding of effects of waterbody size and angling method on angler-fish interactions
| Contributor(s):: Christopher J. Chizinski, Dustin R. Martin, Daizaburo Shizuka, Kevin L. Pope
Networks used to study interactions could provide insights to fisheries. We compiled data from 27 297 interviews of anglers across waterbodies that ranged in size from 1 to 12 113 ha. Catch rates of fish species among anglers grouped by species targeted generally differed between angling...

Involvement of the hypothalamic-pituitary-interrenal axis in the antistress activities of Tenebrio molitor Larvae in zebrafish
| Contributor(s):: Lee, Jeongwon, Kim, Dong Hyun, Park, Se Jin, Jong, Hoon Ryu, Jung, Ji Wook, Jeon, You-Jin, Park, Sang-Rul, Kim, Gi-Young, Lee, Seungheon
In this study, the antistress effects of the water extract of Tenebrio molitor larvae (WTML) were investigated. To determine the effects of WTML on fish stress, changes in whole-body cortisol levels and behaviour were monitored in zebrafish (Danio rerio). To induce physical stress, we used net...
