Welcome to ISAE 2019 We welcome you to Bergen, Norway, for the 53rd Congress of the International Society for Applied Ethology (ISAE). It is our sincere hope that you will have a rewarding and valuable experience participating in the congress. We also encourage you to enjoy Bergen and its surrounding mountains and fjords. Bergen was chosen as the congress venue partly because of its rich history, culture and nature, and partly for practical reasons, including accessibility, congress facilities and accommodation opportunities. This is the second time that an ISAE congress has been organised in Norway, the first one having been held in Lillehammer 20 years ago. The main theme of this year’s congress is ‘Animal lives worth living’. This theme focuses on our responsibility for all animals kept or influenced by humans, to ensure that we can provide a life for them that takes into account all relevant aspects of animal welfare, aided by applied ethology as the key scientific discipline. This means considering not only means for avoiding and alleviating suffering but also means for promoting resilience and positive experiences. By monitoring and interpreting animal behaviour, we gain important insights into each of these aspects of quality of life. Instead of organising the scientific programme according to species, we chose to focus the sessions on themes within applied ethology that contribute to optimal conditions for ‘a life worth living’. Genetic selection of animals must be conducted in ways that accommodate behavioural function and reduce behavioural problems and adverse emotions. During the foetal period, the conditions for the pregnant mother must be suitable for avoiding long-term adverse effects on the offspring. After birth, the offspring must experience a safe but enriched environment that prepares them for a good life in the environment(s) to which they are destined. Throughout life, the physical and social environment must stimulate curiosity, facilitate social harmony and contribute to a sense of well-being. Boredom must be avoided, so providing positive cognitive stimulation must not be forgotten. The nutrition, and how food and water is offered, must positively affect behaviour and welfare. Because humans are a prominent feature of the environment, it is essential that interactions between humans and animals are experienced without fear and stress, but instead contribute to positive emotions and good health in both animals and humans. Applied ethology must also be forward thinking, predictive and proactive, providing directions for future ways of selecting and keeping animals instead of just attempting to fix unintended problems after they have become established. A congress on applied ethology in Norway would not be complete without addressing the behaviour and welfare of fish used in aquaculture. A session on this topic is therefore included. This is also the reason for the choice of this year’s David Wood-Gush Memorial Lecturer, Felicity Huntingford, who is a leading authority on fish behaviour. Additionally, we feature plenary talks by recipients of the ISAE Creativity Award, Per Jensen and Françoise Wemelsfelder, and the ISAE New Investigator Award, Irene Camerlink. Finally, we draw your attention to six exciting workshops organised by ISAE members, covering a broad spectrum of current interests within applied ethology. We wish you all a memorable stay in Bergen! Bjarne O. Braastad and Ruth C. Newberry Applied ethology 2019 7 Acknowledgements Local Congress Organising Committee Bjarne O. Braastad (chair), Knut E.
