WP3 (CLOUD), focused on nutrition and welfare, is articulated around 3 generic objectives. The first one is related to the improvement of knowledge on the welfare of aquaculture crops through the use of new welfare tools and indicators, within a context of global change. The second objective focuses on improving the nutrition and feeding of farmed animals, through the use of new feed formulations based on mixtures of alternative raw materials and dietary supplements validated throughout the production cycle, with zootechnical and behavioral data and new molecular biology and microbiota monitoring tools. Finally, the proposal contemplates generating new ingredients for aquaculture feeds from the valorization of fishery by-products and other products and by-products of vegetable or animal origin with the aim of obtaining compounds beneficial to the health and nutrition of farmed species.
