WG1 CephsInAction meets AE2015

AE2015

October 23 – October 24, 2015

FA1301 COST Action Working Group 1 (Research Needs in Cephalopod Welfare) will join Aquaculture Europe 2015. AE2015 will take place at the De Doelen Congress Centre in Rotterdam (Netherlands), from 20 to 23 October 2015.

The AE2015 is organized by the European Aquaculture Society in cooperation with IMARES (Institute for Marine Resources & Ecosystem Studies) and AFI Wageningen UR (a collaboration between Wageningen University & Research centre and DLO foundation).

The participation of members of FA1301 COST Action to AE2015 is aimed to:

facilitate networking with specialists and SME working on topics of relevance to rearing and aquaculture of cephalopods, discuss approaches, strategies and possible collaborations for the achievement of important deliverables and results

allow beneficial interaction with other aspects of compatible disciplines and research done in other taxa

extend the potential of research efforts on biology and welfare of cephalopods

FA1301 WG1 members and representatives of FA1301 WG2, WG4 and WG5 will convene and contribute to AE2015 main program with a dedicated symposium (October 23). A series of other contributions (posters and free oral presentations) will also be delivered during the main program.

FA1301 WG1 meeting will occur as Satellite event of AE2015 on Saturday 24 October, 2015

During the meeting we will discuss approaches, strategies and possible collaborations for the achievement of important deliverables, and results of WG1, also in relation with other FA1301-WGs.

Aims

Synthesize and analyze the available knowledge on cephalopod biology, physiology and welfare. Evaluate the environmental, biological and behavioral needs of different cephalopod species to increase success of caring, maintenance, growth and rearing aimed to reduce stress and increase welfare in research and aquaculture establishments. Increase knowledge on nutritional requirements of different cephalopods species at various developmental stages including those required to improve health and welfare in aquaculture. Increase the knowledge of biological and physiological indicators (e.g. biomarkers) of welfare for cephalopods, also by increasing the use of alternatives to live animals in research, and the use of non-invasive approaches. Analysis of biological and physiological findings relevant to stress, nociception, pain assessment and management relevant to cephalopods. Evaluation of alternative methods to be utilized in experimental procedures. Evaluation of physiological and stress response during anesthesia. Development of humane endpoint. Development of online databases as guidance and inventory of alternatives. Further development of the CephsInAction CWI (Cephalopod Welfare Index) database-project by collection of statements (from scientific literature and best-practice), identification of animals’ needs, thus facilitate the linking of ‘statements’ to biological ‘needs’ in order to determine indicators of cephalopods welfare. Dissemination and Educational activities. Development of an EU accredited Training School Programme for Cephalopod Biology and Care in compliance with Directive 2010/63/EU.
