Climate change and the crab aquaculture industry: problems and challenges

Abol Munafi Ambok Bolong, . and Nor Azra Mohamad, . Climate change and the crab aquaculture industry: problems and challenges. pp. 1-3. ISSN 1823-8556

Studies on the climate change have attracted major scientific interests. The purpose of this editorial letter is to interpret recent issues related to the portunid crab aquaculture activities and then to discuss the importance of crab aquaculture and finally the challenges posed by climate change. It is well known that aquaculture is fast becoming the main source of seafood worldwide due to the depletion of wild fisheries. Achievements in various technologies play a vital role in the sustainability of highly commercial aquatic species such as the portunid crabs. Another challenges facing the aquaculture industry is the global climate change. The climate change-induce temperature-related process is the main interest in the future development of sustainable aquaculture industry. Significant increase in the number of studies related to climate change is expected to attract larger number of research related to be conducted. Thus studies on the effects of climate change on aquaculture especially temperature related could provide important data for comparison with future research. Future efforts to understand the effects of a range of temperature changes should also be strongly encouraged in order to act for better prediction and culture management.

Abstract

Studies on the climate change have attracted major scientific interests. The purpose of this editorial letter is to interpret recent issues related to the portunid crab aquaculture activities and then to discuss the importance of crab aquaculture and finally the challenges posed by climate change. It is well known that aquaculture is fast becoming the main source of seafood worldwide due to the depletion of wild fisheries. Achievements in various technologies play a vital role in the sustainability of highly commercial aquatic species such as the portunid crabs. Another challenges facing the aquaculture industry is the global climate change. The climate change-induce temperature-related process is the main interest in the future development of sustainable aquaculture industry. Significant increase in the number of studies related to climate change is expected to attract larger number of research related to be conducted. Thus studies on the effects of climate change on aquaculture especially temperature related could provide important data for comparison with future research. Future efforts to understand the effects of a range of temperature changes should also be strongly encouraged in order to act for better prediction and culture management.
