🐟 Oxidative stress can affect fish health and welfare Electrochemical sensors for hydrogen peroxide detection offer a promising minimally invasive approach to continuous monitoring in aquaculture Explore this and other resources at ignition-project.eu #Biosensors #Aquaculture #Farm2Fork

🕵️Can you solve the mystery? Play AQLUA, a Cluedo-style game set in an aquaculture station Gather clues, investigate a mysterious illness, and explore animal welfare science Available in 🇬🇧🇵🇹🇪🇸🇮🇹, standard and junior mode Print & play: ignition-project.eu/resources/ #GameBasedLearning #EducationalGames

🐟 Stress is a major factor affecting fish health, welfare, and growth Electrochemical biosensors for cortisol detection offer a promising minimally invasive approach to continuous monitoring, supporting earlier interventions more at ignition-project.eu

How can we monitor animal welfare without causing additional stress to animals? Our infographic explores the potential of innovative non-invasive biomarkers to support animal welfare monitoring in more sustainable animal farming systems.

Can fish skin mucus help transform aquaculture health monitoring? We're exploring exactly that, developing novel non-invasive biomarkers and biosensor technologies to detect stress and disease in farmed fish without the need for invasive sampling. Don't miss it tomorrow!
