Evaluating anaesthetics for improving scientific research and welfare using larval zebrafish

Sylvia Dimitriadou, Mhairi Miller, Ali Pilehvar, Lynne U. Sneddon et autres

Abstract Establishing anaesthesia for ensuring both animal welfare and compatibility with protocols required for different areas of scientific research is vital. Zebrafish ( Danio rerio ) are one of the most used animal models in research; however, little is known about the …

Laying the foundations for selective-fish guidance using electricity: multi-species response to pulsed direct currents

Mhairi Miller, Suleiman M. Sharkh, Paul S. Kemp

To develop effective technology that employs electric fields to simultaneously guide valued freshwater fish whilst limiting the range expansion of undesirable invasive species, there is a need to quantify the electrosensitivity of multiple families. This experimental study quantified the electrosensitivity of two …

Response of upstream migrating juvenile European eel (Anguilla anguilla) to electric fields: Application of the marginal gains concept to fish screening

Mhairi Miller, Suleiman M. Sharkh, Paul S. Kemp

The decline in European eel (Anguilla anguilla) recruitment over the past half-century is partly due to river infrastructure that delays or blocks upstream migration to rearing habitat. Stimuli, such as electricity, can be used to modify the behaviour of downstream moving fish …

Interplay between age‐based competitive asymmetries within the brood and direct competition between inbred and outbred offspring in a burying beetle

Mhairi Miller, Tom Ratz, Jon Richardson, Per T. Smiseth

Theory suggests that intraspecific competition associated with direct competition between inbred and outbred individuals should be an important determinant of the severity of inbreeding depression. The reason is that, if outbred individuals are stronger competitors than inbred ones, direct competition should have …
