Need

This project will address one of the most common sources of public complaints (both real and perceived concerns) regarding the treatment of “live seafood’ held in aquaria in restaurants.
Many restaurant owners are not trained aquarists and this project will greatly assist in providing them with better understanding of the needs of the live seafood they are holding.
The project seeks greater consistency across the states and territories in approaches to animal welfare.
