Area of Science:

  • Aquaculture
  • Animal Welfare Science
  • Sustainable Fisheries

Background:

  • Global aquaculture is rapidly expanding, yet animal welfare assessment is often overlooked.
  • Integrating animal welfare early in aquaculture development is critical for future adaptability.
  • High-quality welfare assessment schemes are essential for promoting and maintaining animal welfare standards.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current certification and assessment frameworks for aquaculture animal welfare.
  • To identify the primary limitations within existing welfare assessment schemes.
  • To propose recommendations for a best-practice welfare assessment process in aquaculture.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of existing aquaculture certification and assessment frameworks.
  • Analysis of identified limitations in current welfare assessment schemes.
  • Development of recommendations for improved aquaculture welfare assessment.

Main Results:

  • Current aquaculture welfare assessment frameworks have significant limitations.
  • There is a need for standardized and high-quality welfare assessment tools.
  • Recommendations are provided for a best-practice welfare assessment process.

Conclusions:

  • Prioritizing animal welfare in aquaculture is crucial for sustainable development.
  • Improved welfare assessment schemes are necessary to ensure high animal welfare standards.
  • Adopting best-practice frameworks supports the social license to operate for aquaculture systems.
