Animal Sciences
Research Unit
The Animal Sciences Unit works on land and at sea. Our research furthers more sustainable animal husbandry, including animal welfare and delivery of high-quality, safe animal products. We also strive for more sustainable exploitation and protection of marine resources/environment. We study fish populations, fisheries techniques, aquaculture and the effect of human activities on the marine ecosystem.
