Abstract
The fisheries and aquaculture sectors have been increasingly recognized for their crucial contribution to global food security, nutrition and livelihood options. Still, the sustainability of the sector is at stake due to the expected effects of climate change that are not only a future but also a present reality. Moreover, few adaptation options have been presented as well as some gaps in existing knowledge that require further investigations. Overall, climate change effects and implications on aquaculture production sustainability are expected to be both negative and positive although, the negative effects compensate the positive ones. In this paper, we review the probable effects of climate change on aquaculture production and potential adaptive measures for sector's sustainability in nutshell.
