“…However, another possibility is altogether tenable. Although a brief CIR to the presentation of the neutral cue may be considered to be part of an arousal or orienting behavioral response (Ide and Hoffmann, 2002) and investigative in nature, a strong CIR on perceiving a threat may be considered to be part of a startle response modulated by fear that may eventually contribute to removing the animal from the proximity of a potentially dangerous stimulus (Laming, 1981).…”

SUMMARYWhen an animalʼs observable behavior remains unaltered, one can be misled in determining whether it is able to sense an environmental cue. By measuring an index of the internal state, additional information about perception may be obtained. We studied the cardiac response of the crab Chasmagnathus to different stimulus modalities: a light pulse, an air puff, virtual looming stimuli and a real visual danger stimulus. The first two did not trigger observable behavior, but the last two elicited a clear escape response. We examined the changes in heart rate upon sensory stimulation. Cardiac response and escape response latencies were also measured and compared during looming stimuli presentation. The cardiac parameters analyzed revealed significant changes (cardio-inhibitory responses) to all the stimuli investigated. We found a clear correlation between escape and cardiac response latencies to different looming stimuli. This study proved useful to examine the perceptual capacity independently of behavior. In addition, the correlation found between escape and cardiac responses support previous results which showed that in the face of impending danger the crab triggers several coordinated defensive reactions. The ability to escape predation or to be alerted to subtle changes in the environment in relation to autonomic control is associated with the complex ability to integrate sensory information as well as motor output to target tissues. This ʻfear, fight or flightʼ response gives support to the idea of an autonomic-like reflexive control in crustaceans.

“…Several peptides that may transmit and modulate nociceptive signals may be found within these trigeminal brain nuclei (Cuadrado et al, 1994). In addition, research has demonstrated that autonomic nervous system and behavioural responses of teleost fish to noxious stimuli are specifically indicative of the detection (via the trigeminal or other cutaneous nerves) and transmission of nociceptive signals to brain centres (Ide and Hoffmann, 2002;Sneddon et al, 2003).

In contrast to other major forms of livestock agriculture, there is a paucity of scientific information on the welfare of fish raised under intensive aquacultural conditions. This reflects an adherence to the belief that these animals have not evolved the salient biological characteristics that are hypothesised to permit sentience. In this review, we evaluate the scientific evidence for the existence of sentience in fish, and in particular, their ability to experience pain, fear and psychological stress. Teleost fish are considered to have marked differences in some aspects of brain structure and organization as compared to tetrapods, yet they simultaneously demonstrate functional similarities and a level of cognitive development suggestive of sentience. Anatomical, pharmacological and behavioural data suggest that affective states of pain, fear and stress are likely to be experienced by fish in similar ways as in tetrapods. This implies that fish have the capacity to suffer, and that welfare consideration for farmed fish should take these states into account. We suggest that the concept of animal welfare can be applied legitimately to fish. It is therefore appropriate to recognize and study the welfare of farmed fish.

“…Quantification of behaviour, ventilation rate and heart rate during acclimatization Fish stressed by subcutaneous injection of 2% or 3% formalin have elevated 'resting' heart rates and show less cardiac inhibition during their alternate response than control fish (Ide and Hoffmann, 2002).

The ventilatory, cardiac and behavioural responses of resting cuttlefish(Sepia officinalisL.) to sudden visual stimuli

IntroductionIt is well-accepted that animals increase ventilation rate and cardiac output after a sudden stimulus (Wingfield, 2003). However, animals across many taxonomic groups have an alternate response to sudden stimuli. The alternate response includes decreased ventilation rate, decreased cardiac output and behavioural freezing (Table·1). Several animals engage in either the traditional fight-or-flight response or the alternate response, depending on the context. For example, if an alligator (Smith et al., 1974) or a burrowing mammal (Smith and Woodruff, 1980;Smith et al., 1981) is cornered in the open, it shows the traditional fight-or-flight response; its heart rate increases, and it fights. However, when the same animal is allowed to hide underwater (alligator) or in its den (burrowing mammal) when frightened, it shows an alternate response; its heart rate decreases and it becomes still.In response to rapidly approaching objects, some cephalopods, e.g. Octopus vulgaris (Wells, 1980;Wells et al., 1987) and the cuttlefish Sepia officinalis (Chichery, 1980), show an alternate response. In cuttlefish, the response includes a transient decrease in ventilation rate and adoption of the Deimatic Display (Table·1). The cephalopod Deimatic Display includes behavioural freezing, rapid changes in skin colour and texture, and body flattening (Hanlon and Messenger, 1996) (e.g. Fig.·1). It is part of a larger category of behaviour called deimatic behaviour. Deimatic behaviour is thought to act as 'threat, startle, frightening or bluff behaviour [that] in most cases serves to make a predator hesitate during the close approach phase of attack ' (Hanlon and Messenger, 1996, p. 79). If deimatic behaviour does not stop the approach of the object or predator, the cephalopod typically jets away by powerfully forcing water from its mantle (Hanlon and Messenger, 1996).Unlike the function of the cephalopod Deimatic Display, the function of cardiac and ventilatory decreases after sudden stimuli is unknown. It is surprising that ventilation rate and When startled, some animals reduce ventilation rate and heart rate, and become motionless. The function of this response, if any, remains unknown. We used noninvasive ultrasound imaging to monitor the ventilatory, cardiac and postural responses of cuttlefish exposed to sudden visual stimuli. Simultaneously, we recorded cuttlefish behaviour using an overhead video camera. Upon presentation of the sudden visual stimulus (rapidly approaching bird cut-out), cuttlefish rapidly changed the colour and the texture of their skin, taking on characteristics of the Deimatic Display. Cuttlefish also became motionless (behavioural freezing), hyperinflated their mantles, and decreased their ventilation rate and heart rate. We found no evidence of a relationship between the intensity of the Deimatic Display and the intensity of any other measured parameter. Ventilation rate decreased during behavioural freezing. Hyperinflation of the mantle was most intense in preparation for and during behavioural ...
