Climate change poses a significant threat to aquaculture, affecting water temperature, sea levels, and species health. Rising temperatures can alter breeding cycles and reduce oxygen levels in water, impacting fish growth and survival. Ocean acidification is another concern, affecting shellfish and coral reefs essential for marine biodiversity. Extreme weather events, such as hurricanes and floods, also pose risks to coastal farms, causing stock losses and infrastructure damage. These climate impacts require adaptive strategies, like shifting farming locations, improving disease resistance, and selecting climate-resilient species. Adapting to climate change is critical for the long-term sustainability of aquaculture, as it ensures stable production amidst environmental challenges.
