养殖海产品是食物和饲料蛋白质的重要来源，具有低碳足迹，在帮助建立可持续粮食系统方面发挥着重要作用。因此，欧盟水产养殖业可持续增长的战略和长期方法比以往任何时候都更加重要。然而，有效和具有成本效益的病原体控制仍然是该部门的主要挑战之一，特别是对欧洲来说，那里有各种各样的物种和生产系统，这阻碍了针对每一种水生物种实施良好的饲养做法。通过与主要利益相关者的积极参与，Cure 4Aqua旨在通过改善水生动物的健康和福利，并支持环境友好，包容，安全和健康的海产品生产，共同提高欧盟水产养殖在环境，生物和社会经济压力下的应变能力。Cure 4Aqua将通过1）开发具有成本效益的疫苗，以预防对欧盟水产养殖具有经济意义的5种病原体引起的疾病; 2）确定具有诊断能力的标记，将其整合到选择性育种计划中，以改善压力和疾病管理;（3）发展创新，生物作为抗生素的替代品，用于控制各个生命阶段的鱼类病原体，并减轻全球抗菌剂的压力阻力; 4）开发新的工具和技术，以改善养鱼场一级的健康和福利监测以及实验室和养鱼场一级的鱼类病原体诊断; 5）通过制定考虑不同生命阶段、生产系统和福利需求知识的高福利标准，将鱼类福利置于水产养殖生产的首位，以及6）确保有效的外部沟通，向所有相关目标群体传播和利用项目活动和成果。

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.
