The health and welfare of farmed fish are often regarded with less concern than for other production animals. This review compares the Norwegian legal health and welfare frameworks for broiler chickens and farmed salmon, with the aim of improving regulations for salmon farming in Norway. Highlighting differences in laws, regulations and governmental organisation are also highly relevant in general, especially in developing welfare regulations for farmed fish in other countries. Norwegian chicken farmers must comply with two main laws, the Norwegian Animal Welfare Act and the Food Act, governed by the same ministry and governmental agency. The salmon farmers must in addition relate to the Aquaculture Act, different ministries and several agencies with different objectives. Compared to the regulation of chicken farming, the regulation of salmon farming is more complex, has potentially conflicting aims and uses less positive welfare phrasings. Thus, the regulation may be perceived as focusing on profitability over welfare. Despite having many similar paragraphs to regulation for chicken farming, salmon farming regulation is less strict in the daily securing of animals and recordings of mortality. There is no specified slaughterhouse control of high‐density productions, as there is for broiler chickens. There are also differences in the mandatory welfare courses, one being that infection prevention is a stated topic for chickens. The Norwegian Animal Welfare Act has no possibility of dispensation, meaning exceptions, and treats fish and other animals equally. Future regulatory frameworks for farmed fish production should avoid unintended downgrading of fish health and welfare.

挪威鲑鱼和鸡肉生产中的健康和福利监管框架比较

与其他生产性动物相比，养殖鱼的健康和福利通常被较少关注。这篇评论比较了挪威关于肉鸡和养殖鲑鱼的法律健康和福利框架，目的是改善挪威鲑鱼养殖的法规。一般而言，突出法律，法规和政府组织之间的差异也非常重要，尤其是在制定其他国家/地区养殖鱼类的福利法规方面。挪威养鸡者必须遵守两项主要法律，即由同一部委和政府机构管理的《挪威动物福利法》和《食品法》。鲑鱼养殖者还必须与《水产养殖法》，不同的部委以及具有不同目标的若干机构有关。相对于养鸡的规定 鲑鱼养殖的法规更加复杂，目标可能存在冲突，并且使用的正面福利措辞较少。因此，该法规可能被视为关注收益高于福利。尽管有许多与养鸡法规相似的段落，但鲑鱼养殖法规在日常饲养动物和记录死亡方面并不严格。没有针对高密度产品的屠宰场控制，就像肉鸡一样。强制性福利课程也有差异，其中之一是预防感染是鸡的既定主题。《挪威动物福利法》没有免除的可能性，这意味着例外，并平等地对待鱼类和其他动物。
