The book, entitled "Welfare of farmed fish in present and future
production systems", summarises the view of more than 80 experts in
the field of fish welfare, collected over a period of more than
five years in an international network entitled "Welfare of Fish in
European Aquaculture" (Cost action 867), which was sponsored by the
COST Office. COST is the acronym for European Cooperation in
Science and Technology. During the time of the action a shift
became evident in the general perception of fish welfare. It now
not only includes variables with very direct effects on growth, and
thereby the economy of the farmer, such as disease, water and feed
quality, but the term also includes fish preferences and
biology-based stimulation measures. This Cost action has
contributed to the notion that welfare sets biological criteria for
a sustainable production system. We present the reader with an
overview of the results obtained, which can help to guide the way
towards welfare of farmed fish in present and future production
systems. The first chapter gives an overview of the scientific
papers that follow. All scientific papers and the first chapter
were previously published in Fish Physiology and Biochemistry, vol.
38, number 1, 2012. Given the accruing interest in fish welfare in
society, each of these scientific papers should be accessible for
stakeholders that are not part of the research community. For that
reason each of the scientific papers is preceded by a summary for
non-experts. Previously published in Fish Physiology and
Biochemistry, vol. 38, number 1, 2012
