Highlights 2024
During 2024, our research focused on publishing papers related to "the digital salmon".
One highlight was the publication of a paper on the premises for making a digital twin of Atlantic salmon, another was the acceptance of a paper that showed the intertwinement of behaviour and emotional wellbeing in vertebrates.
For us the added value of being a part of a transdisciplinary centre has been the access to meeting venues for PhD students, and the help to think in terms of innovation.

AHA!: Adaptive Heuristics and Architecture
- Can we compute wellbeing in animals?
Animal wellbeing is not only something people care about, it is central to how animals themselves think about their future. And we can utilize this mechanism to improve animal welfare, as well as to understand animal behaviour better.

Research group
The aim of the project is to model life and behaviour in digital organisms, mostly fish. By modelling physiology, cognition, genes, stimuli, environment and evolution, this research will provide knowledge about natural behaviour.
Innovation: The researchers develop mathematical models of natural behaviour applicable to aquaculture and fisheries.
