Coping with new environments and production methods: Animal welfare and stress biology applied to modern salmon farming

For å sikre god dyrevelferd trenger oppdrettsnæringen både velferdsvennlig teknologi og prosedyrer og robust fisk som kan mestre dagens og fremtidens teknologier og -miljø. I dag vet vi ikke om avlslinjer og familier av laks som er avlet frem for å mestre tradisjonelle oppdrettssystemer også er d...

To address this need, we will constr...

New tools for online overall assessment of rearing environment, stress level, and fish welfare in Atlantic salmon cage farms

The welfare of farmed fish has received increasing attention in recent years. Fish that thrive grow faster, are less sensitive to stress and less vulnerable to disease. In this project we propose a system for overall monitoring and assessment of rearing environment and fish welfare in sea cages...

Learning ability, cognitive capacity and welfare of farmed fish

This project will give new knowledge and basic understanding about learning ability and cognitive capacity in farmed fish and the function of their motivational systems. This knowledge has high relevance for the assessment of welfare, since only sentient (conscious) beings are considered as moral...

Motivational states and coping ability as operational welfare indicators in farmed fish

To improve welfare of farmed fish there is a need to develop objective indicators that can be used to assess, manage and document welfare. The high number of individuals in aquaculture production units puts constraints on which indicators that are likely to be operational in the industry. Behavio...
