The WP3 (CLOUD), focused on nutrition and well-being, is articulated around three generic objectives. The first is related to improving knowledge about the welfare of aquaculture crops through the use of new tools and indicators welfare, 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 blends 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 feed from the valorization of by-products from fishing and other products and by-products of plant or animal origin with the aim of obtaining compounds that are beneficial to the health and nutrition of the cultivated species.
