Participation in the XLI Encontro Anual de Etologia in Brazil!

Disseminating science-based knowledge is one of our key activities to help improve the welfare of fishes and other aquatic animals in a practical way. Making presentations at scientific events is also an important part of our efforts to spread the word and share knowledge about fish behaviour and welfare.

💡As part of this mission, our team member Caroline Marques Maia participated in the XLI Encontro Anual de Etologia 2024 in Brazil. Carol gave an oral presentation via a recorded video on 'Disseminating Fish Behavior and Welfare: Fish Talk Podcast,' where she presented our podcast.

> Great opportunity to share our ideas and exchange knowledge!

Who we are


Who we are

We are a non-profit association bridging the gaps between science and the stakeholders in the aquaculture sector: producers, certifiers, retailers, NGOs, policy makers and consumers. Our goal is to study and improve the welfare of farmed fishes and other aquatic animals by applying ethological scientific knowledge into best practices in fish farming.


What we stand for


What we stand for

Throughout the years, our team has been involved in many areas of the aquaculture sector, from scientific research to campaigning, from auditing to policy. We use that expertise to promote the welfare of fishes through many initiatives with our partners and collaborators.


What we do


What we do

We develop science-based solutions to assess and improve the welfare of captive and wild-caught fishes. In our approach, we apply a strong background in aquaculture and ethology to address the welfare of fishes. We use state-of-the-art knowledge on the behaviour of a species to understand how its welfare is affected under farming conditions and what we can do to promote it.


Need help?

If you are interested in scientific and technical expertise applied to welfare in fish farming, please contact us.

We develop custom-made welfare solutions for your initiatives, as consultancy in farms or other facilities, tailored courses, guidance, certification requirements or systems, specific research studies and welfare protocols (see What we do).
