Guidelines for the treatment of animals in behavioural research and teaching

TL;DR: These guidelines are general in scope, since the diversity of species and the study techniques used in behavioural research preclude the inclusion of prescriptive standards for animal care and treatment, other than emphasizing the general principle that the best animal welfare is a prerequisite for the best science.
Journal ArticleDOI

Do Fishes Have Nociceptors? Evidence for the Evolution of a Vertebrate Sensory System

TL;DR: This study provides significant evidence of nociception in teleost fishes and demonstrates that behaviour and physiology are affected over a prolonged period of time, suggesting discomfort.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Evidence for Pain in Fish: The Use of Morphine as an Analgesic

TL;DR: Assessing the acute effects of administering a noxious chemical to the lips of rainbow trout concluded that these pain-related behaviours are not simple reflexes and therefore there is the potential for pain perception in fish.
Journal ArticleDOI

Defining and assessing animal pain

TL;DR: Criteria that demonstrate, beyond a reasonable doubt, whether animals of a given species experience pain are defined that are vital to inform whether to alleviate pain or to drive the refinement of procedures to reduce invasiveness.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plasticity in animal personality traits: does prior experience alter the degree of boldness?

TL;DR: B Bold fishes given negative experiences reduced their boldness which may be an adaptive response; however, shy fishes may base their strategic decisions upon self-assessment of their relative competitive ability and increase theirboldness in situations where getting to resources more quickly ensures they outcompete better competitors.
