How does climate change impact aquaculture industry growth
Climate change is identified as the biggest disruptor in the aquaculture sector by FAO.
- Rising sea temperatures can affect the growth and reproduction rates of aquaculture species, leading to decreased yields.
- Changes in ocean pH levels due to climate change can impact the health and survival of aquatic organisms, affecting aquaculture production.
- Extreme weather events, such as storms and hurricanes, can damage aquaculture infrastructure and cause loss of stock.
- Shifts in water quality and availability due to climate change can affect the viability of aquaculture operations.
- Changes in ocean currents and salinity levels can also impact the success of aquaculture activities.
