There has been a limited amount of research on the
welfare of farmed fish (Turnbull 2006). Almost nothing
is published on the welfare of other farmed aquatic
animals. In light of the conclusions above, investiga-
tions of the welfare of farmed decapods would seem to
be necessary. For example, how is their welfare
affected by crowding, handling, salinity change,
adverse temperatures, and food shortage etc.?
