Modern aquaculture places great emphasis on production techniques, growth rates and product quality. However, the importance of harvest as the final stage in aquaculture production is often overlooked. Ideally, harvesting should be a process where fish are treated with the greatest care to minimise stress prior to slaughter. Low stress harvesting of fish, also known as RESTED HARVEST, is widely known to significantly improve product quality in all species of finfish, crustacean, eel and mollusc.
