FEG – Fishethogroup Association

Description

We are a non-profit association working towards the study and improvement of aquatic animal welfare. We bridge the gaps between science and the stakeholders in the aquaculture sector: producers, certifiers, retailers, NGOs, policy makers and consumers. The FishEthoGroup is based in Portugal and our research base is at Centre of Marine Sciences (CCMAR), who is the institutional host of our experimental research group. Our goal is to study and improve the welfare of farmed fishes and other aquatic animals. We are a dedicated team of professionals fully focused on our objectives: applying ethological knowledge to develop the best practices in fish farming and fisheries.
