Effects of commercial live transportation and preslaughter handling of Atlantic salmon on blood constituents

The effects of commercial harvest, transport in wellboat and ante mortem handling on stress related blood constituents in salmon (Salmo salar) were evaluated. Ten fish were sampled at each of six stages: on farm; after loading; after transport in wellboat; after unloading; after resting and after pu...
