I tried to extract out the key data because I was wondering how anyone can know what shrimp like. They’re simple alien creatures.
It seems like the presence of these factors are used to indicate “this is bad for shrimps”:
Mortality
Disease
Stress biomarkers (eg serotonin)
Recoil reflex (ie, eyestalk ablation)
An injury-rubbing behaviour that diminishes with covering the wound or anaesthetic
Cannibalism
Deviation from natural behaviour
Physical injury
More movement (?)
Going through this was a useful exercise. At first I thought the report was making the silly claim of knowing the preferences of shrimps. Actually it’s mostly a much more commonsense “how do we prevent shrimps from dying or getting disease or being physically mutilated.”
