Ethical Issues in Aquaculture Production

The ethical issues raised by aquaculture were analyzed. A modification of the Ethical Matrix of the Food Ethics Council for the evaluation of novel foods was used; the Ethical Matrix was changed in order to include the various aquaculture production stages separately. The following stages were distinguished: the breeding stage, the growth/feeding stage, the ''other-handling'' stage (that includes disease and treatment, transportation of organisms, killing procedure, and DNA vaccinations), and the commercialization stage. The ethical issues concerning the producers, the consumers, the environment, and the aquacultured organisms, are discussed. This scheme was fitted to the intensive cage-culture of carnivorous fish. The differences with other forms of aquaculture are discussed, and how the scheme extrapolates to them. The ethical evaluation of aquaculture, in practice, will be rather a utilitarian balancing of cost and benefits of the respective actions. The desired characteristics of an ethical evaluation have been also outlined. Ethical evaluation should not be limited to a purely scientific analysis; it should be holistic, comparable to available alternatives, and should have the flexibility to incorporate new data generated in the fast growing/continuous changing aquaculture sector.

Greater amberjack (Seriola dumerili, Risso) is one of the major candidate fish species for aquaculture diversification; however, whereas it withholds great potential for aquaculture due to its fast growth and excellent flesh features, it accounts for a very small commercial worldwide production up to date (Grigorakis, 2017). Bottlenecks, such as inadequate reproduction success, juvenile availability and lack of knowledge in certain nutrition and pathology issues, are the limiting factors for launching higher production numbers (Mylonas et al., 2016). As a result, published scientific research of Greater amberjack is mainly concentrated on the physiology, husbandry, nutrition, reproduction and pathology issues of the species (Fernández-

Knowledge gaps and research needs for the welfare of farmed fish

SUMMARYSince 2003, the Animal Health and Animal Welfare Panel (AHAW) of EFSA adopted fifteen generic Scientific Opinions related to the welfare of farmed fish. These Scientific Opinions addressed aspects of husbandry systems, transport and slaughter practices and covered seven species of fish. The AHAW Scientific Opinions showed that very limited information is available in the peer reviewed literature regarding fish welfare, making welfare assessment difficult. The biology of fish, their production systems, the development of welfare indicators, and learning and cognitive ability in different species of fish are major topics for research. Welfare oriented research should address specific issues within the following twelve research areas: welfare indicators, vaccines and other veterinary medicines, epidemiology of endemic diseases, neuro-biology, physiology of stress, stocking density, water quality, genetics, transport, pre-slaughter handling, stunning and killing, and domestication of farmed species. The order of importance for these areas significantly differs depending on the fish species, developmental stages and production systems. Therefore the list is not a strict research priority ranking.
