Optimising feeds to support ecosystem-based aquaculture

该项目旨在通过制定一个新的跨学科可持续性评估框架，评估改变水产养殖饲料的全球和地方后果。该项目希望通过将实地数据与新颖的实验、建模技术以及陆地和海洋饲料原料及其影响的全球制图相结合，产生新的方法，以了解和预测不同饲料和气候情景下当地农场到生态系统的变化和全球环境足迹。预期成果包括评估不同饲料下的生态、社会和经济权衡的新方法，为决策提供信息，以支持从全球到地方的基于生态系统的水产养殖方法。

This project aims to assess the global and local consequences of changing feeds in aquaculture by developing a new interdisciplinary sustainability assessment framework. The project expects to generate new methods to understand and predict local farm-to-ecosystem changes and global environmental footprints under contrasting feed and climate scenarios by integrating field data with novel experiments, modelling techniques and global mapping of terrestrial and marine feed raw materials and their impacts. Expected outcomes include new methods to assess ecological, social and economic trade-offs under different feeds to inform decision making in support of an ecosystem-based approach to aquaculture spanning global to local scales.
