fair‑fish has developed an innovative advisory concept to improve the welfare of farmed fishes.
The ProCare Foundation supported fair‑fish in 2023 to develop ideas that inspire and support fish farmers in creating better living conditions for their animals. fair‑fish is now starting implementation immediately (as of May 2024) thanks to renewed support, even though further funding for the two-year project is still lacking.
We are on the ground
We sit down with operators of small and medium-sized fish farms and develop individualised proposals to improve the conditions in which the animals are kept. Naturally, we select the measures that are most beneficial to the welfare of the fishes. We accompany the implementation and monitor its success.
We provide know-how
fair‑fish provides easy-to-understand information on a platform for species-appropriate farming. It supplements the knowledge of fish farmers and quickly brings them up to date.
We help researchers
We maintain an exchange with research institutes that specialise in aquaculture and species-appropriate husbandry. The experience gained from the consultations flows directly to the researchers. And supports them in developing successful experiments whose results are relevant to practice.
We seek the public
We offer our knowledge and experience in lectures and presentations for universities, fisheries authorities, politicians, and others. We use virtual reality-based learning modules that are fun and motivate people to put them into practice.
We advise politicians and others
As the voice of fishes, fair‑fish wants to support legislation together with practitioners and researchers in order to find satisfactory solutions. It is already clear to fair‑fish that there is an urgent need to extend the Animal Welfare Act to include more fish species and to take account of different breeding systems.
