Carefish/farm

Aquaculture is often seen as a good alternative to fishery, and the industry hopes that it will both secure food for people and stop the reckless overfishing of the oceans.

What has received too little attention to date is, on the one hand, the answer to the question of which fishes are suitable for aquaculture and, on the other hand, how the animals can be kept in a species-appropriate manner.

In the Carefish/farm project, we have been dedicated to improving the situation for fishes and other aquatic creatures in aquaculture since 2017.

Aims of the project

Development and dissemination of scientific findings,
Development of fish welfare criteria for the „Friend of the Sea“ label
Training for auditors who check the fish welfare guidelines and
Courses on species-appropriate husbandry for aquaculture operators

Project partners

In the fair‑fish database, fair‑fish provides profiles on the welfare of fishes in aquaculture and the possibilities of implementing species-appropriate husbandry.
Together with fair‑fish, FishEthoGroup developed the scientific basis for fish welfare guidelines in aquaculture for the international „Friend of the Sea“ label. FishEthoGroup develop the courses and training programmes, publish scientific studies, and attend international congresses.
