Accelerating implementation of fish welfare science

We transform scientific research into practical guidance for aquaculture professionals

Our work

The Centre for Aquaculture Progress is an international, independent research think tank focused on fish welfare.

Research

We systematically review the best available scientific evidence on fish health and welfare to understand what works in practice.

Resources

We develop evidence-based guidance documents and assessment protocols for use in commercial settings.

Implementation

We provide hands-on support to producers, certification bodies, and seafood buyers to implement improved welfare practices.

Who we work with

The Centre for Aquaculture Progress collaborates with a wide range of partners.  



Producers

Our practical approach supports producers in achieving their welfare goals, whether driven by customer expectations or their own commitments to fish health and welfare.
