Climate Change and Impacts on Aquaculture

Speech
The impacts of climate change on aquaculture are more diverse than expected

Abstract
Aquaculture takes place in the natural environment and is directly affected by changes in it. Climate change will impact aquaculture in many ways beyond the physical conditions (droughts, storms, waves, etc). Food safety, food security, fish health, or feed availability are also risks that have to be considered and contingency plans need to be devised, both in the legal framework and in the production process.
