Society's evolving views on Animal Welfare are shaping aquaculture practicesThrough a series of interviews, this second edition brings together scientists, academics, producers and investors to talk about how views on animal welfare have evolved in aquaculture and in our society, and the impact this is having in the industry.
Topics such as 'Welfare during fish harvesting', the 'Power of genetics in creating healthy and robust animals', 'Happy fish, happy farmers, healthy business ' are all discussed, explored, experiences and best practices shared to help further the development and improvement of fish and shrimp welfare in aquaculture.
As a leader in aquaculture biotechnology our purpose is to drive sustainability in aquaculture. We do this in three ways: by being a proactive industry leader, working with our customers and partners to identify ways to help our industry grow sustainably; by being a responsible operator, and by having a real impact across the value chain through our products and solutions.
Through Benchmark Insights we aim to bring together a wide range of perspectives and insights on some of the most important aspects of sustainable aquaculture. I would like to thank all the contributors to this publication for their valuable insights.'
