The marine environment is already experiencing impacts from climate change, with global temperatures rising 0.7°C since pre-industrial times. This warming disrupts marine life from plankton to polar bears. If temperatures continue rising as predicted, many species already under stress from overfishing and habitat loss may not survive. Key impacts include coral bleaching, shifts in species ranges, and rising sea levels threatening coastal ecosystems.

Climate Change: Implications for Fisheries and AquacultureECFoundation
The Fifth Assessment Report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is the
most comprehensive and relevant analysis of our
changing climate. It provides the scientific fact base that will be used around the world to formulate climate policies in the coming years.
This document is one of a series synthesizing the most pertinent findings
of AR5 for specific economic and business sectors. It was born of the belief
that the fisheries and aquaculture sector could make more use of AR5, which is long and
highly technical, if it were distilled into an accurate, accessible, timely,
relevant and readable summary. Although the information presented here is a ‘translation’ of the key content relevant to this sector from AR5, this summary report adheres to the rigorous scientific basis of the original source material.
Grateful thanks are extended to all reviewers from both the science and
business communities for their time, effort and invaluable feedback on
this document. The basis for information presented in this overview report can be found
in the fully-referenced and peer-reviewed IPCC technical and scientific
background reports at: www.ipcc.ch

child presentation about climate change. This described the difference between climate and weather. Sea level increases, deforestations, effect to coral reef,
Aquaculture continues to significantly expand its production, making it the
fastest-growing food production sector globally.
However, the sustainability of the sector is at stake due to the predicted effects of climate change that are not only a future but also a present reality.
In this Lecture, we review the potential effects of climate change on aquaculture production and its implications on the sector ’ s sustainability.
Various elements of a changing climate, such as rising temperatures, sea-level
rise, diseases and harmful algal blooms, changes in rainfall patterns, the uncertainty of external inputs supplies, changes in sea surface salinity, and
severe climatic events have been discussed. Furthermore, several adaptation options have been presented as well as some gaps in existing knowledge that
require further investigations.
IMPACT OF GLOBAL WARMING ON AQUATIC FLORA AND FAUNAMahendra Pal
A rise in temperature as small as 1° C could have important and rapid effects on the geographical distributions and mortality of some organisms. The more mobile species should be able to adjust their ranges over time, but less mobile and sedentary species may not.There are many factors that can cause a warming of our climate; for example, more energy from the sun, large natural events such as El Nino or an increased greenhouse effect. Rising temperatures can directly affect the metabolism, life cycle, and behaviour of marine species. For many species, temperature serves as a cue for reproduction. Clearly, changes in sea temperature could affect their successful breeding. The number of male and female offspring is determined by temperature for marine turtles, as well as some fish and copepods (tiny shrimp-like animals on which many other marine animals feed). Changing climate could therefore skew sex ratios and threaten population survival.
Tropical coral reefs cover an area of over 284 000 km2, providing habitat for thousands of species and yielding more than US$ 30 billion annually in global goods and services, such as coastline protection, tourism and food. Corals reefs are now threatened by the increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, while warmer sea temperatures are disturbing the delicate symbiosis between coral organisms and algae. For example, 16 per cent of all tropical coral reefs were killed off by thermal stress during a single extreme El Niño–Southern Oscillation event in 1997–1998. As a result of escalating atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide, more of this gas is being dissolved in the world’s oceans. This has already reduced ocean pH and the trend is projected to continue. Moreover, the altered ocean chemistry is expected to have major corrosive effects on marine ecosystems and to alter the calcification rates of corals, phytoplankton and other species.

2. One of the most visually dramatic effects of climate change is coral
bleaching, a stress response caused by high water temperatures
that can lead to coral death.
Recent years have seen widespread and severe coral bleaching
episodes around the world, with coral mortality reaching 70% in
some regions.

Most scientists believe that global warming will herald a new era of
extreme and unpredictable weather.
Tropical storms and heavier rainfall may increase and so too would
the consequent physical damage to coral reefs, other coastal
ecosystems, and coastal communities. Hurricanes Hugo and
Marilyn hit the US Virgin Islands National Park in 1989 and 1995,
respectively, and did massive damage to coral ecosystems.
More on extreme weather
As the oceans warm, the location of the ideal water temperature
may shift for many species.
A study has shown that fish in the North Sea have moved further
north or into deeper water in response to rising sea temperatures.
Other species may lose their homes for other reasons. The
distribution of penguin species in the Antarctic Peninsula region, for
example, is changing with reductions in sea ice due to global
warming.

5. transporting nutrients from deep to shallow waters, and surface
water rich in oxygen into deeper waters. In some areas, changes to
ocean temperature profiles induced by climate change are causing
a reduction in the amount of mixing, and for example, reducing
oxygen levels at depth.
After absorbing a large proportion of the carbon dioxide released by
human activities, the oceans are becoming acidic. If it weren’t for
the oceans, the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would be
much higher.
The effect could be that fish, squid, and other gilled marine animals
may find it harder to "breathe", as the dissolved oxygen essential for
their life becomes difficult to extract as water becomes more acidic.
And shellfish, crabs, lobsters, and corals may find it more difficult to
build their calcium carbonate shells. In some areas, calcium
carbonate shells may even start to dissolve.
