      van de Vis, Hans; Reinert, Henny; Grimsbø, Endre; Roth, Bjørn (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2023)
      Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) at various size 226-1938 g were placed in electric dry stunning either tailor head- first and then exposed to 50 Hz, 240 V AC for 0.5 and thereafter 9.5 s of electricity. This to verify whether the animal is rendered unconscious prior to killing by immersing the animal into cold brine (-14 to -18 °C) or hypoxic water, supersaturated with CO2. In addition, salmon from ...

      Lumpfish, ranging in size from 146-4200 g, were placed in an electric dry stunning unit head first and exposed to 50 Hz, 240 V AC for 0.5 or 1 s and thereafter 4.5 or 9 s of electricity, thus 5 and 10 s respectively. In seawater, lumpfish were exposed to an electric field equivalent of 4.6 Vrms/cm, 100 pps square AC, with 15% duty cycle for 1 s and thereafter 9 s. This to verify whether the animal ...
