“…Due to phylogenetic relationship, social proximity and cultural narratives, the needs of mammals and birds appear to be more accessible and comprehensible to humans, than this is the case with finfish or aquatic invertebrates (Braithwaite et al 2013;Röcklinsberg 2014;Joy 2013, 72-76). 9 While the negative effects of inadequate stocking densities in mammals and birds are often clearly visible (e.g.…”

From a certifier's perspective (Naturland e.V.), this paper deals with the question of how to bring together the values of producers and consumers in globalized food markets. It is argued that growth and mainstreaming of organic food production cannot be achieved solely by ethically aware consumers signalling their more sustainable purchase decision to the market. In fact, the intrinsic motivation of producers is an indispensable requisite for such a development. It is then the organic movement's and the certifier's (such as Naturland e.V.) task to bring together the values of consumers and producers. This challenge is explored in the following by using the example of organic aquaculture. Based on one of the author's experience in the field of aquaculture certification since the late 1990s, in about twenty countries and with most aquaculture animal species, the paper examines critical value-based aspects that are prominent from the perspective of sustainability. These are: use of problematic substances in aquaculture production, stocking density, origin of feedstuff, certification procedure, and small-scale farming versus large aquaculture companies. On this basis, the paper describes and analyses attempts to formulate respective organic certification standards. In order to bring about organic aquaculture, it is argued that consumers' choices alone are not sufficient and that successful transformation to sustainable aquaculture also needs to take into account values and preferences of producers.

“…Many interesting studies have been published discussing the possibility of fish have nociceptors (reflex to a noxious stimulus) , and not only perceive the pain (Sneddon, 2011), but whether fish have emotions, and if so how they experience them (Braithwaite, Huntingford, & Bos, 2013;Kittilsen, 2013).…”

ABSTRACT. In 2014, Brazil produced 474.33 thousand tons of captive-bred fish. In addition, regulatory agencies of animal ethics and welfare have recently encouraged experiments to be done using simpler vertebrates, such as fish. The aim of this article was to perform a scientometric analysis of scientific production that deals with fish welfare, in an attempt to find trends and gaps in this line of research. Our analyses showed a growing concern about fish welfare, although several questions remained inadequately covered. The most studied species was the Atlantic salmon, with Norway having the most publications on this theme. There are controversies among scientists about fish capacity for suffering and enjoyment (sentience). As regards slaughter or euthanasia, some studies showed that some methods are more endorsed than others, because they effectively reduce suffering and improve the appearance of the meat. In respect of animals used for experimentation, the most recommended substances were benzocaine and MS222. Thus, despite the importance of this subject, few studies are decisive and there is still no consensus on how to improve fish welfare or even on how to reduce suffering at the moment of slaughter.Keywords: suffering, pain, euthanasia, stress, humane slaughter.Bem-estar em peixes: o status da ciência por meio de análise cienciométrica RESUMO. Em 2014, o Brasil produziu 474,33 mil toneladas de peixes em cativeiro. Além disto, há um recente incentivo dos órgãos reguladores da ética e do bem-estar animal para que experimentos sejam feitos com vertebrados mais simples, tais como peixes. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi realizar uma análise cienciométrica da produção científica que trata do bem-estar de peixes e se preocupa com eles, em uma tentativa de encontrar tendências e lacunas nessa linha de pesquisa. Nossas análises mostraram uma crescente preocupação com o bem-estar em peixes, apesar de várias questões continuarem deficientes. A espécie mais utilizada nos estudos foi o salmão do Atlântico, e o país com mais publicações nessa temática foi a Noruega. Percebe-se que existem controvérsias entre cientistas quanto à capacidade de sofrimento desses animais, a senciência. Quanto ao abate ou à eutanásia, estudos mostraram que alguns métodos são mais aconselháveis que outros, pois efetivamente irão reduzir o sofrimento e melhorar a apresentação da carne. Para animais de experimentação, as substâncias mais recomendadas foram a benzocaína e o MS222. Assim, apesar da importância do tema, poucos estudos são definitivos, inexistindo ainda consenso sobre os métodos de melhoria do bem-estar em peixes e sobre como reduzir o sofrimento no momento do abate.Palavras-chave: sofrimento, dor, eutanásia, estresse, abate humanitário.

“…When a set of behaviours that show variation across coping styles traits are correlated to show intra-individual consistency and the different behavioural responses also show intra-individual consistency across time and in different context (predation, confinement, environmental variations, among others) Braithwaite et al, 2011), the set of behaviours is considered a behavioural syndrome Reale et al, 2007;Wolf and Weissing, 2012). One behavioural syndrome is proactive-reactive stress coping style axis (Koolhaas et al, 1999).…”

“…For example, some researchers demonstrated that proactive fish tended to possess a higher immune reaction (MacKenzie et al, 2009;Rey et al, 2016), higher growth rates (Millot et al, 2009), and higher reproductive success (Godin and Dugatkin, 1996), however, showed lower anti-predatory responses than reactive fish (Huntingford et al, 2010). Physiologically, proactive fish have a lower activity at hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal/interrenal (HPI) level, which affects the stress response to different stressors, presenting lower post-stress levels of glucocorticoids, which may be broadly classified to affect two major categories, immunological and metabolic response Braithwaite et al, 2011). Different SCS classifications (proactive, reactive) related to behavioural and physiological SCS have been defined in a wide range of fish species such as, rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) (Øverli et al, 2002; Øverli et al, 2006), brown trout (Salmo trutta) (Kristiansen, 1999;Brelin et al, 2005), zebrafish (Danio rerio) Tudorache et al, 2013;Tudorache et al, 2015), African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) (Martins et al, 2005;2006) and include flatfish, halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus) (Kristiansen et al, 2004;Kristiansen and Fernö, 2007), olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) (Rupia et al, 2016) and Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis) Ibarra-Zatarain et al, 2015;.…”
