Start year 2016 End year 2019 Funding (€) € 992,947 Website https://prosjektbanken.forskningsradet.no/project/FORISS/257670?Kilde=FORISS&distribution=Ar&chart=bar&calcType=funding&Sprak=no&sortBy=date&sortOrder=desc&resultCount=30&offset=0&Geografi.2=S%C3%B8r-Varanger Summary Norway King Crab Production will in this project focus on optimal animal welfare during initial storing (continuation of previous work), transport, re-tanking in closed recycling systems and final transport to end customers. The main tasks to achieve the goals of the project: a. Engineering of portable heart activity monitoring system b. Engineering of stationary heart activity monitoring system in the plants and adapting to CRWS c. Developing of rapid analysis method of achieved data d. Developing alarm systems based on heart activity monitoring of crustaceans e. Heart activity monitoring during transportation by car / by plane, dry and in water f. Heart activity monitoring during adaptation and recovery in closed recirculating system g. Heart activity monitoring under different water quality levels h. Heart activity monitoring under different packing / storage conditions i. Heart activity monitoring under anesthetic treatment Cardiac activity has been developed for species of crab (Bamber & Depledge; 1997) and crawfish (Kholodkevich et al; 2007, 2008). The cardiac signals obtained in these large crustaceans allow more sophisticated pulsometric analyzes than molluscs, providing more detailed information and interpretation (Fedotov et al .; 2002 a, b, c). Analyzing changes of the heart activity of the red king crab under impacts of typical routines during live storage and transportation we can determine main stress factors and find the way to improve welfare aspects of technology. To insure maximum welfare level, the engineering, adaptation and implementation of permanent monitoring systems is needed.
