OO4-2 – Technologies to assess welfare on-farm using monitoring tools and animal-based measures (ABMs)
1. Animal Welfare
We are looking to join a consortium requiring proven engineering expertise in offshore aquaculture. We develop leading digital tools for modelling fish cages, swimming behaviour, pathogen transport, and hydrodynamics. We currently lead a five-year Lloyd’s Register Foundation project (2025-30) on offshore aquaculture engineering, offering access to cage design, service vessels, large wave basins, field trials, and advanced modelling with partners across academia (NTUA, IITM) and industry (AKVA, Griffon Marine, ASTRA-RYBA). Please contact us to strengthen your EUPAHW Animal Welfare proposal.
Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) contributes leading offshore aquaculture engineering for animal welfare, combining fluid–structure interaction modelling, digital twins, and sensor integration. Through our LRF-funded programme and peer-reviewed research, we can quantify oxygen, hydrodynamic stress, and behaviour-linked ABMs, providing validated infrastructure, industry partnerships, and field-test capacity to strengthen EUPAHW welfare-focused consortia.
