Abstract
About Welfare and Stress in the Early Stages of Fish.
Highlights
Fish are the most phylogenetically ancient vertebrates and the most varied group in terms of genetic and morphological diversity
In recent years there has been a greater social sensitivity in terms of fish welfare, which has been reflected in an increasingly protective (European) legislation of fish, whether they are for aquarium trade (006/88/EU), production or research, (2010/63/EU https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dir/2010/63/oj)
Some questions arise regarding welfare during earlier fish stages: When and how the fish start to experience stress and pain along development? Are stress and pain experiences in mature fish applicable to the earliest stages of development? In this contribution, we review the state of the art regarding the studies dealing with stress and welfare in eggs, larvae and early stages of fish
