for considering environmental drought as a relevant type to be included in drought …

Climate change is an inevitable event that obstructs the output of aquaculture farms and
culture-based fisheries in open waters. It poses a serious threat to global food security …

Migratory freshwater fish (ie fish that use freshwater systems, either partly or exclusively)
occur around the world and travel between critical habitats to complete their life cycle. They …

Seasonal change in temperature has a profound effect on reproduction in fish. Increasing
temperatures cue reproductive development in spring-spawning species, and falling …

Experimental studies assessing climatic effects on ecological communities have typically
applied static warming treatments. Although these studies have been informative, they have …

Drought is a constant and important consequence of natural climatic processes and most
freshwater fishes have adaptations to counter its effects. However, a changing global climate …

This chapter provides an overview of the main drivers of change in estuarine systems, their
expected causes and impacts on estuarine fish and fisheries. An analysis of global, regional …

Regions with a Mediterranean climate are generally predicted to become warmer and drier
with climate change. Estuaries in these regions are influenced by a broad range of climate …

Changes in the physical environment of aquatic systems consistent with climate change
have been reported across Australia, with impacts on many marine and freshwater species …

Estuaries are especially vulnerable to the impacts of climate change because changes in
climatic and hydrologic variables that influence freshwater and marine systems will also …
