National assessment reveals climate vulnerability patterns across Australian seafood systems
By
Stephanie Brodie
Summary
This article presents a comprehensive national assessment of climate change vulnerability across Australian seafood systems, including both wild capture fisheries and aquaculture. It examines how rising ocean temperatures, acidification, marine heatwaves, and other climate-driven changes are exposing different seafood sectors to risk, while also evaluating their adaptive capacity. The study covers multiple species, regions, and production methods, providing a systematic framework for understanding which Australian seafood systems are most at risk and which have the greatest potential to adapt to ongoing environmental changes.

· 3 pulledClimate change poses threats to both wild fish populations and aquaculture via changes to the atmosphere and the physical and biogeochemical ocean environment
Changes to the frequency of extreme events, acidification and ocean currents can directly impact the distribution and abundance of fish stocks or indirectly impact fish stocks by affecting the habitats or prey they rely on
Marine waters are becoming warmer and acidified and experiencing more intense and longer heatwaves under climate change
