Evaluation of head-only and head-to-tail electrical stunning of farmed eels (Anguilla anguilla, L.) for the development of a humane slaughter method
2002-04-01
Abstract excerpt
The overall objective was to evaluate the suitability of electronarcosis as a stunning method for farmed eels. In the first experiment the minimum electrical current needed to induce a general epileptiform insult by head-only stunning was assessed. The individual eels (n = 40) with a live weight of 700-800 g were fixed in a specially designed restrainer. The EEG (electroencephalogram) and ECG (electrocardiogram) r...
