Abstract
The use of electronic sensors can greatly enhance our understanding of fish behaviour and physiology, and sensor data are emerging as key sources of information for improving aquaculture management practices. An integrated and interdisciplinary approach to monitor the activity pattern and physiological status of farmed fish, as well as environmental parameters, will enhance the sustainability and profitability of European aquaculture. For tailor made breeding programs, sensor technology offers the possibility to monitor traits in individual fish or families related to key factors that influence animal health and behaviour, such as hypoxia or sub-optimal water current. The better performing fish under these challenging environmental conditions can be selected for breeding.
