AB The behavioural responses of fish to a stressful situation must be considered an adversereaction caused by the perception of pain. Consequently, the handling prior to stunning and theimmediacy of loss consciousness following stunning are the aspects to take into account during theslaughtering process. The most common commercial stunning method in seabream and seabass isbased on hypothermia, but other methods such as electrical stunning, carbon dioxide narcosis oranaesthetic with clove oil, are discussed in relation to the time to reach the unconsciousness stage andsome welfare indicators. Although seawater plus ice slurry is currently accepted in some guidelinesof fish welfare well practices at slaughter, it cannot be considered completely adequate due to thedeferred speed at which cause loss of consciousness. New methods of incorporating some kind ofanaesthetic in the stunning tank could be a solution to minimize the impact on the welfare of seabassand seabream at slaughtering
