World aquaculture in the conditions of the adaptation to climate change

The article examines the challenges and consequences of climate change on the planet, provoked by active human activity over the past 200 years, which led to the rapid accumulation of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.An increase in the average annual temperature on Earth, melting glaciers and rising sea levels, extreme natural phenomena (floods, catastrophic storms, intense droughts and severe fires), a decrease in biodiversity and the disappearance of some species.The world's oceans are becoming increasingly salty and acidic due to warming of the atmosphere and oceans, changes in the nature of precipitation and an increase in the frequency of extreme weather events.This creates serious dangers for fisheries and aquaculture, affects the physiology and behaviour of many species of aquatic organisms, changes their productivity, migration processes and habitat parameters.Since the main pollutant of the atmosphere is carbon dioxide, methane and other greenhouse gas components, the concentrations of which are steadily increasing, this directly depends on the high rates of fossil fuel consumption.Therefore, the main task of combating the climate crisis is to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 and adapt to climate change.Aquaculture plays an important role in ensuring food security, economic development of territories and preserving biodiversity.This is of particular importance in the context of global challenges such as climate change and the reduction of natural fish stocks.Aquaculture allows reducing pressure on natural ecosystems, since the production of fish and seafood in specially created conditions is more sustainable and efficient compared to traditional fishing.Most decisions made for the further development of the industry should be related to the transition to sustainable development of aquaculture.
