Cover Story: The increasing awareness about animal welfare and strict requirements for fish freshness call for more thorough investigations into slaughtering methods. Among those methods, cranial spiking of fish has been commonly used in Japan. This method, however, has been found to cause delayed convulsion in certain fish species, facilitating meat quality deterioration. The study was designed to investigate the relationship between the variation of the levels of spinal monoamines and delayed convulsion in red seabream to highlight the underlying mechanisms. It appears that norepinephrine plays the most essential role in the initiation of delayed convulsions. View this paper
