The increasing attention towards animal welfare also concerns aquaculture species, with special regards to husbandry and slaughter conditions. Both the extent and the duration of stressful events especially before slaughter may affect post-mortem evolution of biochemical processes and product shelf-life (Pottinger, 2001; Zampacavallo et al., 2003). The present work aimed to evaluate the effects of preslaughter conditions in European sea bass according to i) stocking density and ii) time spent in confinement tanks after catch and before slaughter on physiological indicators of stress and meat quality during storage.
