Measure fish welfare with just a drop of water!
Simple, portable and non-invasive monitoring of fish welfare - the best way to get it!
Why?
Poor fish welfare can lead to...
Reduced growth rates
Increased susceptibility
Decreased overall health
...which can ultimately lead to economic losses for the aquaculture industry.
In SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH, the ZEBRAFISH (Danio rerio) is one of the most commonly used species to study a wide range of biological processes, including behavior, development, and human diseases. Ensuring that the fish are healthy and well-cared is crucial as this can have a significant impact on the validity and reproducibility of research results.
YOU CAN DO IT BETTER!
You can use the Fish Welfare Biosensor, a non-invasive method for evaluating fish welfare that measures key compounds (cortisol, lactate and glucose) in the water.
Aligned with 3 R’s principles (reduce, reuse and refinement) according to European Directive (animal experimentation) and FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization) guidelines (aquaculture).
By addressing the problem of non-invasive methods for evaluating fish welfare, this product has the potential to improve the health and well-being of fish in both aquaculture and scientific research settings.
TO WHOM?
Aquaculture producers (industry professionals and managers, who are responsible for the care and management of fish in production systems)
Researchers (who use zebrafish or sea bass as animal model in their research studies)
National authorities (eg. DGAV e ICN)
Public Aquariums Managers
Environmentalists and conservationists
Consumers and the food industry
Pharmaceutical industry
Technology companies that develop biosensors and other tools for measuring environmental parameters in aquaculture settings, and animal welfare in research.
Are you interested in testing our Biosensor?
Fish Welfare Biosensor will provide a novel and practical solution for evaluating fish welfare in a non-invasive way, which could potentially improve the health and well-being of fish in both aquaculture and scientific research settings.
