Slaughterfish as species? I was confused for awhile when googling "Slaughterfish", wondering if this was a species I had never hear of. Then I discovered the google hits came from an imaginary creature from video game called Oblivion. So now that my brain has been mistreated by the traps of the video age, I think I will go with slaughter fish!

I believe you are on the right track here You'll find a lot of hits for "slaughter fish" in papers and articles that fit this context.

fish heading to the slaughterhouse Fish carriers are used for transportation of living fish to slaughterhouse. The idea here is that slaktefisk er destined for a slaughterhouse.

I meant farmed fish....
Example sentence:

agree Charles Ek : Yes, s/b "farmed fish." F.eks., "Brandasund Fiskeforedling AS søkjer om justering av slaktemerd for hald av slaktefisk av laks og aure på lokaliteten Kastevika i Brandasund og utviding av biomassetaket på lokaliteten."

Harvest size fish, evt Mature/adult fish

Jeg mener bestemt at i setningen du presenterte, er ikke poenget hvorvidt det er snakk om oppdrettsfisk konta villfisk, men storrelsen paa fisken.

Det er mulig at adult fish eller mature fish kan brukes.

Example sentence:

A salmon farm which holds yearlings for up to two years. Many hold broodstock for even longer in these conditions to help ensure large, sexually mature adults.

This means salmon farmers introduced IHN infected Atlantic smolts to the Broughton and have sustained this virus, not normally found in saltwater, for the past 16 months with no end in sight. While Heritage and Stolt killed 3 million infected smolts in th
