Stunning challenges: operational indicators flag failures, but neurological val...
Gräns, Albin; Cabrera-Álvarez, María José; Oliveira, Gonçalo; Saraiva, João; Arechavala-Lopez, Pablo; Bortoletti, Martina; Schwerte, ThorstenHumane slaughter in aquaculture depends on accurate assessments of insensibility, yet commonly used operational indicators remain poorly validated against neurological benchmarks. This study compared operational indicators such as the loss or recovery of equilibrium, ’eye-roll’ reflex, and ventilation reflex with visually evoked responses (VERs) in European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax) and gilthead seabream (...
Putative nociceptive responses in a decapod crustacean: The Shore Crab (Carcinu...
Kasiouras, Eleftherios; Hubbard, Peter; Gräns, Albin; Sneddon, Lynne U.Nociceptors are receptors that detect injurious stimuli and are necessary to convey such information from the periphery to the central nervous system. While nociception has been extensively studied in various taxa, there is relatively little electrophysiological evidence for the existence of nociceptors in decapod crustaceans. This study investigated putative nociceptive responses in the shore crabs, specifical...
