MyFishCheck
Based on international literature and practical experience on local grow-out farms, parameters were defined to assess fish welfare in 5 areas:
- Water quality
- Farm management
- Fish behaviour
- Fish external
- Fish internal
Each module contains several parameters, which are calculated into a module grade using a mathematical model. Some parameters are only relevant for certain aquaculture systems and some are specific to certain fish species. The model has therefore been designed to be flexible to allow modules to be assessed for different systems and species. Based on this model, a software application was designed which is now available for use as an Android app and MS application. The application is available for recirculation and flow-through systems with rainbow trout and pikeperch.
MyFishCheck in French:
We are working towards a broad accessibility. The App will be translated and be available in French.
MyFishCheck for European perch:
We are developing the App for further fish species. The European perch will be included in the App.
MyFarmCheck:
We plan further help for a fish farmer's daily business. A new software program will assist the mid-scale fish farmers with the maintenance, documentation, analysis, and optimisation of their aquaculture system
