Abstract

Several studies have reported the neurophysiological and behavioural mechanisms that enable fish to experience several types of affective states, such as fear, pain and joy. This is crucial for the welfare feelings-based approach, as conditions that bring positive or negative valence to fish influence their affective state. A method to understand to what extent fish ‘like’ or ‘dislike’ their surrounding features is by evaluating their consistent choices (preferences) and propensity to reach environmental resources or traits (motivation). In this review, we propose how to assess preference and motivation tests in fish and discuss the limitations and potential biases that may affect such tests. Furthermore, we emphasize that understanding the avoidance responses of fish under a welfare context is a complementary method to improve the quality of life of fish in any type of rearing environment. Although there are other reviews about animal preference and motivation, this is the first one exclusively dedicated to the application of fish welfare.

偏好、回避、动机及其对鱼类福利的重要性

有几项研究报告了使鱼类体验恐惧、痛苦和喜悦等几种情感状态的神经生理和行为机制。这对基于福利情感的方法至关重要，因为给鱼带来积极或消极情感的条件会影响它们的情感状态。了解鱼类在多大程度上 "喜欢 "或 "不喜欢 "周围环境特征的一种方法是评估它们的一致选择（偏好）和接触环境资源或特征的倾向（动机）。在这篇综述中，我们提出了如何评估鱼类的偏好和动机测试，并讨论了可能影响此类测试的局限性和潜在偏差。此外，我们还强调，了解鱼类在福利环境下的回避反应是提高鱼类在任何饲养环境中生活质量的辅助方法。虽然还有其他关于动物偏好和动机的综述，但这是第一本专门针对鱼类福利应用的综述。

期刊介绍： Fish and Fisheries adopts a broad, interdisciplinary approach to the subject of fish biology and fisheries. It draws contributions in the form of major synoptic papers and syntheses or meta-analyses that lay out new approaches, re-examine existing findings, methods or theory, and discuss papers and commentaries from diverse areas. Focal areas include fish palaeontology, molecular biology and ecology, genetics, biochemistry, physiology, ecology, behaviour, evolutionary studies, conservation, assessment, population dynamics, mathematical modelling, ecosystem analysis and the social, economic and policy aspects of fisheries where they are grounded in a scientific approach. A paper in Fish and Fisheries must draw upon all key elements of the existing literature on a topic, normally have a broad geographic and/or taxonomic scope, and provide general points which make it compelling to a wide range of readers whatever their geographical location. So, in short, we aim to publish articles that make syntheses of old or synoptic, long-term or spatially widespread data, introduce or consolidate fresh concepts or theory, or, in the Ghoti section, briefly justify preliminary, new synoptic ideas. Please note that authors of submissions not meeting this mandate will be directed to the appropriate primary literature.
