Climate change and consequent warming of the oceans poses multiple threats to fisheries sector, said Vice-Chancellor of Kerala University of Fisheries and Ocean Studies B. Madhusoodana Kurup at a technical session on the impact of global warming on fisheries and aquaculture at the International Conference on Global Warming and Food Security in Ras al Khaima, the UAE.
He said that recent data showed decline in availability of fish off the Indian coasts. This could be attributed to the consequences of global warming and climate change and their impact on the ocean eco system. Various aquaculture practices in inland water bodies of the country are badly being affected due to the phenomena, said a press release from the University here on Wednesday.
