Moderate stocking density does not influence the behavioural and physiological responses of rainbow trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss ) in organic aquaculture

“…Stocking density is one of the most important factors able to affect fish welfare in aquaculture (Ashley, 2007; Conte, 2004; Lembo et al, 2019). Due to the recent increase in fish production from organic aquaculture (Gambelli et al, 2019), and the importance of fish welfare in this context, it is significant to address this question in the most important farmed fish species. A holistic approach, including the monitoring of biological performances, physiological and behavioural measurements, was adopted to address this question in rainbow trout.…”

“…During the last years, fish production from organic aquaculture has rapidly increase (Gambelli, Naspetti, Zander, & Zanoli, 2019).…”

“…During the last years, fish production from organic aquaculture has rapidly increase (Gambelli, Naspetti, Zander, & Zanoli, 2019). Standard to reach organic certification are obviously linked to diet composition, but also to waste production related to the production systems and welfare state of fish (Gould, Compagnoni, & Lembo, 2019).…”

Consumer Knowledge and Perception about Fresh Fish from Organic Farming in Croatia

“…Organic aquaculture production has nearly doubled since 2014, although it is still small in volume at the global level. Organic aquaculture still accounts for about 0.5% of the total volume of global aquaculture (Gambelli et al, 2019). Organic aquaculture is a holistic method of rearing fish and other marine animals according to ecological principles.…”

The benthic environmental footprint of aquaculture in the Eastern Mediterranean: Organic vs conventional fish farming

“…According to the European Market Observatory for Fisheries and Aquaculture Products (EUMOFA) in the EU, the total organic aquaculture production was 50 thousand tonnes in 2015, equivalent to about 3.9% of the total European aquaculture production (EUMOFA, 2017). European countries account for about 20% of the world organic aquaculture although some European countries have reduced their production in recent years (Gambelli, Naspetti, Zander, & Zanoli, 2019). The main organically produced species, in order of importance, are (a) salmon (produced in Ireland), (b) mussel (produced in Italy and Ireland), (c) carp (produced in Hungary, Poland and Romania), (d) trout (produced in France and Denmark, (e) sea bass and sea bream (produced in Italy and Greece), (Lembo & Mente, 2019; Prins, Stokkers, Immink, & Hoste, 2015).…”
