Climate change adaptation in aquaculture

Climate change and aquaculture: potential impacts, adaptation and mitigation

This document addresses the potential impacts of climatic change on the aquaculture sector and to a lesser extent the contribution of aquaculture to climate change. In order to achieve these objectives, the status of this subsector in relation to the total food fish supply, recent changes therein and other related aspects are analysed with a view to addressing potential adaptations and mitigati...

Climate change implications for fisheries and aquaculture

An overview of the current scientific knowledge available on climate change implications for fisheries and aquaculture is provided through three technical papers that were presented and discussed during the Expert Workshop on Climate Change Implications for Fisheries and Aquaculture (Rome, 7–9 April 2008). A summary of the workshop outcomes as well as key messages on impacts of climate change o...

Impacts of climate change on aquaculture

There is little existing evidence of impacts on aquaculture that can be attributed to climate change. Several effects have been observed that could be related to a changing climate such as increased shellfish contamination, harmful plankton events and the establishment of non-native species, but it is not clear that a changing ocean climate is responsible for these effects. Given the current pr...
