Executive summary: The post outlines a new project aimed at advocating for humane slaughter of sea bass and sea bream in Europe, with discussion on the current inhumane practices, potential solutions like electrical stunning, and an exploration of key countries involved in the industry.
Key points:
Sea bass and sea bream are farmed extensively in Europe and slaughtered by asphyxiation, causing intense suffering.
A new project aims to help install electrical stunning equipment to prevent this suffering. The first six months will focus on gathering information from the industry.
This report summarizes sea bass/bream farming and slaughter in key countries. It also discusses engineering challenges for stunning equipment installation on boats.
Top priority countries are Turkey, Spain, and Greece due to their large industries and potential to adopt stunning.
In the first six months, the project will gather perspectives from farmers and manufacturers to facilitate stunning adoption.
Funding options will be explored, both from within the animal advocacy movement and external sources like industry/government.
