Based in the south of England, Bristol collaborates with industry on projects relating to fish stunning, slaughter, welfare and husbandry. Driven by the need to improve the humane slaughter of fish, Bristol has developed techniques to anaesthetise and implant EEG electrodes with subsequent recording and interpretation of EEG signals and video analysis of behaviour. Such techniques will allow study of wider brain functions such as sleep patterns.
