Cermaq has implemented a new fish welfare policy based on the framework and recommendations in the FishWell report. While Cermaq already reports on a broad set of fish health and welfare indicators, this is the first step towards developing KPIs for measuring fish welfare as defined in FishWell.
Cermaq wants its fish to thrive, grow and be healthy. A fish with good welfare is healthier, performs better and ultimately has better quality, which is essential for the productivity and sustainability of Cermaq's farming operations.
In the FishWell report a wide group of scientists summarize the knowledge of fish welfare and recommend how this can be operationalized in production processes as well as in procedures for handling the fish. Cermaq has used these recommendations to enhance fish welfare throughout its operations.
