Com a crescente preocupação em se obter alimentos de qualidade, aliada ao setor da aquicultura, que cada vez mais vem se destacando em relação à tecnologia, o bemestar animal voltado ao pescado é um ponto que precisa ser ligeiramente integrado e discutido. O abate possui várias etapas que o precedem, e todas elas influenciam na qualidade final do produto. Estas etapas são, despesca, jejum, transporte e insensibilização, que pode ocorrer por diferentes métodos, os quais afetam de maneira positiva ou negativa. Dentre as práticas que são utilizadas para o abate, se inclui aqueles que causam menor sofrimento e melhor qualidade da carne, quando realizados de modo correto, sendo, por choque elétrico, golpe letal na cabeça (com insensibilização) e secção de medula, e, os que geram sofrimento nos peixes, que são por asfixia (em ar ou no gelo) e choque térmico, os quais são os métodos mais tradicionais. Portanto, é preciso que haja a inclusão de legislação voltada ao bem-estar no abate do pescado, pois, assim como os outros animais, o peixe é um animal que possui consciência das sensações. O objetivo desta revisão é ressaltar a importância do bem-estar no manejo pré-abate e abate de pescado.Palavras chave: bem-estar, manejo, peixes, qualidade Good practices in pre-slaughter and slaughter of fishABSTRACT. With the growing concern to obtain quality food, allied to the aquaculture sector, which has been increasingly important in relation to technology, animal welfare focused on fish is a point that needs to be linked and integrated. The slaughter has several steps that precede, and all of them influence the final quality of the product. These steps are harvest, fasting, transportation and stunning, which can occur by different methods, which affect positively or negatively. Among the practices that are used for slaughter, it includes those that cause less suffering and better quality of meat, being, by electric shock, lethal blow to the head (with insensibiling) and bone marrow section, and those that generate suffering in fish, which are by asphyxiation (in air or ice) and thermal shock, which are the most traditional methods. Therefore, it is necessary to include welfare legislation in the slaughtering of fish, since, like other animals, fish is an animal that is aware of sensations. The objective of this review is to emphasize the importance of welfare in pre-slaughter and fish slaughtering.
