OUR APPROACH

Peer-reviewed Publications and Professional Presentations

From prestigious journals to impactful conferences worldwide, we excel in crafting and presenting aquatic-focused research. Our track record boasts high-level outputs, demonstrating expertise in various writing styles.

Education and Training

We facilitate training workshops designed to benefit fishes and farmers alike. Our seminars and partnerships with key stakeholders in the aquaculture sector ensure animal welfare is embedded into regional farming practices.

Welfare Assessments

We can evaluate aquatic animal farms using existing assessment protocols when available. If lacking, we rely on current scientific knowledge to gauge potential stress levels. Research on aquatic animal welfare is limited compared to land animals, making projects in this field innovative.

Drive Institutional Change

Through strategic partnerships with international organisations and governmental agencies, we advocate for the adoption of higher welfare policies and continent-wide aquatic animal welfare standards.
