Climate changes are happening right now and they are threatening sustainable growth in aquaculture and fisheries worldwide. ClimeFish wants to draw the focus to the necessity of change, both when it comes to using opportunities while mitigating risks under the effects of climate change on aquaculture and fisheries.

About
The core goal of ClimeFish was to help to ensure that seafood production could increase in areas and for species where there is a potential for sustainable growth, given the expected climate developments, and thereby contribute to both robust employment and the sustainable development of rural and coastal communities.
ClimeFish developed production scenarios that provided inputs to socio-economic analysis and identified risks and opportunities linked to climate changes.
The ClimeFish consortium included 21 partners from 16 countries, with scientists from universities, national research institutes and medium-sized enterprises.
