Climate Change: Impacts and Threats on Freshwater Aquaculture

摘要

This study examines the major effects of climate charge on aquaculture, especially on the freshwater ecosystem. Aquaculture as established is not practiced evenly across the world. Therefore, the study highlights the current aquaculture practices within the regions and across the different environments to ascertain the major effects of climate variations on the freshwater ecosystem and aquaculture practices in particular. The main elements of climate change that would impact on aquaculture production, such as sea level and temperature rise, changes is Monsoon patterns and extreme climatic events and water stress, among others were properly looked at and the reasons for their effects addressed. The different elements of climate change that are experienced in varying degrees can be either positive or negative or directly or indirectly depending on the different culture systems that are practiced. It is in the process of our study that we brought out the complex attributes of climate change as it affects aquaculture productivity and the possible roles that the society can play to ameliorate the harsh effects of this ugly monster, referred to as Climate change and the consequent global warming trends.
