- Abstract
Cannibalism refers to maiming and killing among individuals of the conspecifics, and plays a key role in controlling animal population numbers and ensuring reproduction (i.e., eliminate the waste of food and space by weaker individuals). However, cannibalism in aquaculture directly reduces the survival rate and the production of farmed animals. Therefore, reduction in the incidence of cannibalism in farmed aquatic animals has been of great interest to the aquaculture industry. In this paper, we review factors affecting the cannibalistic behavior of aquatic animals and the research progress on the screening of shelters to prevent cannibalism. These shelters focus on the animals and their external environment. We also discuss prospects for future research. The purpose of this review is to provide a scientific reference for the study of cannibalistic behavior of aquatic animals and a theoretical basis for the development of cannibalism-preventing shelter technologies for aquatic animal farming.
