Humane/Ethical Killing Policy
Arnarlax uses percussion stunners to anaesthetize the fish. This is an automatic system where the fish is put manually into the stunning unit and gets knocked in the head and stunned. 

After the stunner, there is a manual control unit where Arnarlax operators check the consciousness of the fish, and if needed re-stuns the fish. Then, the operators cut the gills on one side of the fish using a sharp knife. The fish will bleed dry and die from the blood loss without regaining consciousness. This is widely considered the most humane method of fish killing.

All operators working with stunning and killing must have gone through a fish welfare training program. Arnarlax also performs humane killing of cleaner fish and by-catch in accordance with local legislations.
