Welfare tools designed by the CSAR team at Swansea University in collaboration with aquaculture partners in the UK are now being fully utilised by the world’s largest supplier of farm-raised Atlantic salmon, MOWI.

Funded by the Access2Sea project, the aim was to develop a suite of innovative and complementary solutions to improve lumpfish welfare aquaculture practices, the resulting tools a welfare e-learning course, a BMI calculator and a rapid welfare assessment tool have become part of the MOWI Academy, an online learning portal able to be accessed anywhere, even on a boat whilst at sea!
