INTERVIEW WITH FELICITY HUNTINGFORD
Understanding fish sentience and behaviour
INTERVIEW WITH FELICITY HUNTINGFORD
Felicity Huntingford is a recognised expert on fish behaviour and, as a result, fish welfare. Her distinguished career has focused on the differences in stress coping styles (or personalities) in fishes and her studies have been influential in showing that fish with different stress coping styles react differently to the challenges of intensive culture. She has also inspired a whole generation of finfish aquaculture welfare specialists, with a sizable proportion of her 35 PhD students going on to become leaders in the field – both in research and production capacities.
