CCM says the following for the shrimp slaughter intervention:
Three days of suffering represented here is the equivalent of three days of such suffering as to render life not worth living.
Does this mean the time in suffering one has to input after āThe intervention addresses a form of suffering which lasts forā is supposed to be as intense as the happiness of a fully healthy shrimp? If yes, I would be confused by your default range of ābetween 0.00000082 hours and 0.000071 hoursā. RP estimated ice slurry slaughter respects 3.05 h of disabling-equivalent pain, which I think is more intense than fully healthy shrimp life. So, in that case, should the time in pain be at least 3.05 h?
Thanks for reporting this. You found an issue that occurred when we converted data from years to hours and somehow overlooked the place in the code where that was generated. It is fixed now. The intended range is half a minute to 37 minutes, with a mean of a little under 10. Iām not entirely sure where the exact numbers for that parameter come from, since Laura Duffy produced that part of the model and has moved on to another org, but I believe it is inspired by this report. As you point out, that is less than three hours of disabling equivalent pain. Iāll have to dig deeper to figure out the rationale here.

Thanks for the update, Derek. To give credit where it is due, it was Michael Johnston who found the issue.
