The Aquaculture Podcast Show - Salmon Welfare Monitoring | Ep. 9

In this episode of The Aquaculture Podcast Show, we unpack some game-changing research on tracking stress in Atlantic salmon, without invasive methods. Using high-frequency accelerometry and heart rate biologging, scientists are gaining new insights into fish metabolism, oxygen use, and hormone responses. It turns out that shifts in movement patterns can tell us a lot. Tune in to hear how this tech is shaping the future of real-time welfare monitoring and precision aquaculture. Available now on all major platforms!

Inspired by the 2024 article titled "Under the sea: How can we use heart rate and accelerometers to remotely assess fish welfare in salmon aquaculture?" by Morgenroth, Daniel, et al.
