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.
