FITFISH – AN EU COST ACTION

22 April 2016 – Caroline Durif was invited to participate in the annual meeting of FITFISH, an EU COST action. The meeting took place in Belgrade, Serbia. She presented a talk on “Orientation and navigation of the European eel using the Earth’s magnetic field”.

The main objective of FITFISH is to develop a research network in which fish swimming in the wild and in aquaculture is studied from a multidisciplinary perspective: e.g. monitoring of migrant fish; design of exercise-“friendly” fish farming facilities, fish welfare.  One of the goals of FITFISH is to demonstrate that swimming can benefit quality production.
