Effects on salmon (Salmo salar) from different operational procedures in fish farming

The effects on farmed salmon caused by operational procedures as handling, de-lousing, removal of dead fish, grading and transfer were studied by underwater TV-observations, ultrasonic telemetry of heart rate and analyses of blood cortisol level. Handling and de-lousing were identified as important...

Summary:The effects on farmed salmon caused by operational procedures as handling, de-lousing, removal of dead fish, grading and transfer were studied by underwater TV-observations, ultrasonic telemetry of heart rate and analyses of blood cortisol level. Handling and de-lousing were identified as important stressors.
