Farmed seafood supply at risk if we don’t act on climate change

Farmed seafood supply at risk if we don’t act on climate change

If we continue to burn fossil fuels at our current rate, the amount of seafood able to be farmed sustainably will increase by only 8% by 2050, and decline by 16% by 2090.

Ocean fish farming in tropics and sub-tropics most impacted by climate change: UBC study

Ocean fish farming in tropics and sub-tropics most impacted by climate change: UBC study

Diners may soon find more farmed oysters and fewer Atlantic salmon on their plates as climate change warms Canada’s Pacific coast.
