Curing EU aquaculture by co-creating health and welfare innovations

Descrizione del progetto

DE EN ES FR IT PL

Coinvolgere le parti interessate per migliorare la salute degli animali acquatici

I frutti di mare allevati sono una fonte significativa di proteine per un’alimentazione con un’impronta a basse emissioni. Tuttavia, il controllo efficiente ed economico dei patogeni rappresenta una sfida cruciale per il settore, in cui esistono specie e sistemi di produzione diversi. Il progetto Cure4Aqua, finanziato dall’UE, migliorerà la salute e il benessere degli animali acquatici e sosterrà una produzione di frutti di mare ecologica, inclusiva, sicura e sana. Cure4Aqua coinvolgerà i principali interlocutori nello sviluppo di vaccini convenienti per prevenire le malattie causate da cinque patogeni di rilevanza economica per l’acquacoltura dell’UE. Inoltre, identificherà marcatori con capacità diagnostica da integrare nei programmi di allevamento selettivo e svilupperà soluzioni innovative e biocompatibili alternative agli antibiotici per il controllo dei patogeni dei pesci.

Obiettivo

Farmed seafood is an important source of protein for food and feeds with a low-carbon footprint which has an important role to play in helping to build a sustainable food system. A strategic and long-term approach for the sustainable growth of a resilient EU aquaculture is, therefore, more relevant today than ever. However, the efficient and cost-effective control of pathogens remains among the main challenges for the sector, particularly relevant for Europe, where there is a great variety of species and production systems, which hinders the implementation of good husbandry practices tailored to each aquatic species. Through active engagement with key stakeholders, Cure4Aqua aims to jointly improve the resilience of EU aquaculture under environmental, biological, and socio-economic stress, by improving aquatic animal health and welfare and supporting the environmentally friendly, inclusive, safe, and healthy production of seafood. Cure4Aqua will do so by 1) developing cost-effective vaccines to prevent disease caused by 5 pathogens of economic significance to EU aquaculture; 2) Identifying markers with diagnostic capacity to be integrated to selective breeding programs to improve stress and disease management; 3) Developing innovative, bio-based and sustainable solutions as an alternative to antibiotics for controlling fish pathogens at various life stages and alleviate the pressure of global antimicrobial resistance; 4) Developing new tools and technology to improve health and welfare monitoring at the fish farm level and diagnostics of fish pathogens both at the laboratory and the fish farm levels; 5) Placing fish welfare at the foreground of aquaculture production, through the development of high welfare standards that consider different life-stages, production systems, and knowledge of welfare needs, and 6) Ensuring effective external communication, dissemination and exploitation of project activities and results to all relevant target groups.
