Lynne Sneddon is an award-winning scientist that has worked for over two decades on topics that have advanced fish health and welfare and used her research to drive the agenda for the improved welfare of fishes. She is an internationally recognized world expert on aquatic welfare and has been invited to develop training resources, participate in workshops, and deliver educational events and talks to veterinarians as well as technical care staff and academics. She is also regularly invited to give talks at academic conferences, laboratory animal meetings, animal law conferences, public events and to industry and other stakeholders. Lynne leads the Aquatic Animal Welfare (AAW) group at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. Their main mission is to understand what aquatic animals can experience, identify welfare challenges and then find solutions to improve their wellbeing. By using an integrative approach in neuroanatomy, electrophysiology, physiology, molecular biology and animal behavior the AAW team explore both positive and negative welfare states in crustaceans such as lobster and crayfish as well as fishes used in aquaculture, fisheries or as a laboratory model.
