Report of the Workshop on Farmed Fish Welfare

Held on Monday 28 October 2002

Document format: pdf

Publisher: Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs

Creation date: October 28, 2002

The animal welfare research programme contributes to Defra’s objective to ensure high standards of animal health and welfare. The Department commissions research and development (R) to support this objective and to provide a sound scientific base of knowledge to guide policy development and application as well as to support the UK’s negotiating positions with the EU, the Council of Europe and other fora. Defra reviews and evaluates areas of its R programme on a regular basis (usually every four to five years). The objective of the Fish Welfare Workshop is to provide an opportunity to look at a broad spectrum of welfare issues influencing farmed fish with a view to deriving a ROAME (Rationale, Objectives, Appraisal, Monitoring, Evaluation) statement covering the extended responsibilities of the Department.
