Abstract
First paragraph: KEY FACTS What is happening ● In the UK, there have been no major changes to the types or locations of species farmed due to climate change. ● At salmon farms, a link between milder winter temperatures, disease and increased fish mortality has been identified and marine heatwaves can contribute to mass mortality events. ● In Scotland, some shellfish areas have experienced poor spat settlement and mortality, but the link to climate change is not fully established.
