Summary:
|
Climate change will affect fish and their habitats. Warmer temperatures or reduction - change in temperatures will influence the abundance, migratory patterns and mortality rates of wild fish stocks and determine what species can be farmed in certain regions. Climate change can produce a change in the amount of water in rivers or lakes. The Composition of water can affect the species and quantity. These climatic effects on fish will have social and economic consequences for people dependent on fisheries and aquaculture - from workers to coastal communities to consumers of fish.
This Recommendation includes a review of the effects of climate change on fisheries and fisheries communities. It recognizes the need for adaptation and the use and dissemination of relevant innovative techniques. It explores adaptation plans and the potential of ICT in supporting the adaptation of the fisheries sector to cope with the effects of climate change
