Fish Welfare

Fish welfare refers to ensuring that fish are healthy, comfortable, and able to behave naturally. It involves providing proper water quality, appropriate food, and suitable environmental conditions to prevent stress and suffering. Recognizing that fish are sentient beings, good welfare practices also include minimizing pain and discomfort, and ensuring humane handling and care. Maintaining fish welfare is important for ethical reasons, for the health of aquatic ecosystems, and for the quality of fish cultivations or fisheries. Overall, it’s about respecting fish as living creatures with needs and ensuring their well-being.
