SLU Aquaculture
The mission of the SLU Aquaculture platform is to consolidate and develop aquaculture research and education at SLU.
Fish stunning methods fail!
In two studies, we evaluated existing and alternative stunning methods for farmed fish. We studied rainbow trout and the increasingly common warm-water species, the African catfish (Clarias
What's hidden beneath the surface?
Recent advances in biosensors offer increased opportunities to monitor the well-being of fish in aquaculture. However, before new biosensors are deployed, their suitability and possible applications

Problems for char in a warmer climate
Char have been farmed in Sweden since the 1970s. In the beginning, it was used for stocking lakes, e.g. for the popular ice-fishing, but more recently it has been farmed mainly as a food fish. The
