Outlook of Climate Change and Fish Nutrition

The edited book covers the climate change impact broadly across the ecosystems, including increasing pressure on livelihood and food supplies to society. Climate change can have both direct and indirect effects on global fish production, and fisheries and aquaculture are important sectors of agriculture for livelihood and nutritional security. This book develops an understanding of changes in relevant environmental parameters and their affect on the growth and physiological performance of fish. It also addresses the potential impact of climate change on the aquaculture sector, with chapters contributed by experts in the field of fish nutrition and physiology. The book assists fish farmers, entrepreneurs, planners, and advisors to adapt or mitigate the adverse effect of climate change.

Climate change is a pressing global issue that impacts various ecosystems, including fisheries and aquaculture. Rising temperatures, in particular, have significant consequences for global fish production. Fisheries and aquaculture play a vital role in providing livelihood and nutritional security for communities worldwide. Fish, being poikilothermic, are highly sensitive to changes in their environment. In commercial aquaculture, it is essential to create optimal environmental conditions for fish growth, welfare, and profitability.

The book aims to develop an understanding of the changes in relevant environmental parameters and their impact on fish growth and physiological performance. It explores the impact of climate change on aquatic resources and fish production, adaptation in fish digestive physiology and biochemistry under changing environments, prioritization of fish feed technology for adaptation and mitigation, and strategies and planning for reproductive physiology and feed management for biodiversity conservation.

The chapters in the book are contributed by experts in the field of fish nutrition and physiology, providing valuable insights and practical knowledge to fish farmers, entrepreneurs, planners, and advisors. It assists in addressing the challenges posed by climate change and promoting sustainable aquaculture practices.

Climate change is a complex and multifaceted issue that requires urgent action. By understanding the impact of climate change on fisheries and aquaculture, we can develop strategies to mitigate its effects and ensure the long-term sustainability of these vital sectors. This book serves as a valuable resource for professionals and stakeholders in the aquaculture industry.
