 As consumers in developed countries start to demand fish welfare from their supermarket, we are working toward a technical platform to measure it in our farms. The research program in Community College of Dong Thap also aims at giving our students, who are also involved in the project, an earlier engagement in this new science. An interdisciplinary approach is applied, using from fish behavioral study to human philosophy of concepts, in a try-and-error process. Main tasks include taking photos and intestinal measurement of pangasius widely raised in the Mekong Delta, interviewing farmers and technical observation of farm conditions.
