First Symposium on Welfare in Aquaculture - (CSAR) Centre for Sustainable Aquatic Research,

First Symposium on Welfare in Aquaculture - (CSAR) Centre for Sustainable Aquatic Research,

580 aquatic species are farmed globally. Not all are fish, but many are. Lumpfish is a novel marine species to aquaculture and one of the fastest growing farmed fish in Europe. But novel species are challenging - there is little information to guide best practice and as a result this can impact on their welfare. Lumpfish are unique as they are not farmed for human consumption, they provide a service to salmon farmers. Lumpfish are cleaner fish - they clean sealice off salmon. This 1st symposium will focus on welfare indicators of novel species, with experts on the subject giving talks in the morning. In the afternoon there will be a workshop on lumpfish welfare. We hope this is the first of many editions. The symposium is taking place here at Swansea University, where The Centre for Sustainable Aquatic Research (CSAR) is based. We are the leading centre in lumpfish aquaculture research; we have unique facilities and we focus on native Scottish lumpfish from disease screened parents. The symposium will bring together experts in fish welfare, lumpfish producers, lumpfish users, retailers, researchers and interest groups in welfare. The symposium has been sponsored by key players in this field and we have bursaries for early career researchers to attend the symposium. There are still places and bursaries available. So join us on the 14th of May. Laearn more here http://smartaqua.org.uk/events/symposium-on-welfare-indicators-for-novel-species-in-aquaculture/
