Summary The WEALTH project was aimed to develop and validate operational husbandry protocols for improved welfare and health of farmed fish, including methods for early prediction and management of disease outbreaks and compromised welfare. The Wealth projects consisted of 5 interlinked work packages: WP1. Experimentally induced stressful husbandry and environmental factors WP2. Physiological, behavioural and endocrine mechanisms WP3. Immune competence and endocrine interaction WP4. Genome wide search for new tools/markers for stress WP5. Monitoring and sampling from commercial farming and Integrate the knowledge generated to develop husbandry protocols to improve health and welfare of farmed fish
