Climate Change Could Mean More Open-Ocean Aquaculture

A new analysis suggests that open-ocean aquaculture for three species of finfish is a viable option for industry expansion under most climate change scenarios – an option that may provide a new source of protein for the world’s growing population.

The warming of near-shore surface waters is expected to shift the range of many species toward the higher latitudes where they would have better growth rates, but even in areas that will be significantly warmer, open-ocean aquaculture could survive because of adaptation techniques including selective breeding…
