Fish slaughter is the process of killing fish, typically after harvesting at sea or from fish farms. At least one trillion fish are killed each year for commercial consumption. Some fish harvesting uses controversial methods like suffocation in air, carbon-dioxide stunning, or ice chilling that have been called inhumane by many organizations such as the World Organisation for Animal Health. However, due to many culture's reliance on fish, some alternative methods of slaughter have been developed. Some methods include percussive stunning, pithing, shooting, and electrical stunning. These methods face criticism, but are equally as effective. Despite this, these method still face criticism along with some arguing that no such method may ever be humane.
