Based on the problem of the frequently occurring caging damages with European catfish, a technical solution is to be worked on. The aim is to investigate the extent to which the stressful caging phase and the stress-causing individual catch can be reduced or avoided. The application is for the promotion of the construction and scientific investigation of an innovative caging device for European catfish, which can lead to a significant reduction in the stressful handling of slaughter fish. The animals will first be placed in a tank after being caught. Subsequently, the retained fish should not be caught again, but should swim independently to the slaughter facility, whereby - in comparison to conventional practice - a considerable stress effect (catch from the group) is avoided. It is expected that this will result in significant improvements with regard to animal welfare and fish quality. In order to verify this expectation, the use of the new caging system will be investigated with regard to its construction, functionality and effect on the fish. 1. construction of the experimental facility 2. experimental phase (caging, documentation of the swim-in, sampling for laboratory) 3. laboratory analyses (stress parameters, fish quality) 4. evaluation, report, scientific data Publications, preparation of information material
