Research Abstract

The current study was made to consider the animal welfare in fish aquaculture. Salmonidae were reared with self-feeding system, and five freedoms of animal welfare (Freedom from Hunger, - Discomfort, - Pain, Injury or Disease, - Express Normal Behaviour, - Fear and Distress) were examined. The results showed that fish aquaculture based on the animal welfare was possible combined with the duoculture of different species and the installation of shelter in fish tank.
