Green Growth in Fisheries and Aquaculture Production and Trade

June 2011
Authors:

Source: 
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)

The main objective of this paper is the focus on the potential for green growth and outline which policies may enhance the greening of fisheries and aquaculture through the supply chain. The starting point is a discussion of the consequences of not changing the current policies for industries with a major potential for environmental impact. Based on this, the paper discusses the potential for green growth policies. It is important to recognise that while some policies can promote win-win potentials, some policies and strategies may be conflicting.

The paper includes data on Norwegian aquaculture production.

Impacts of Climate Change on Fisheries and Aquaculture: Synthesis of current knowledge, adaptation, and mitigation options

Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)
This report provides the most up-to-date information on the disaggregated impacts of climate change for marine and inland fisheries and for aquaculture, in the context of poverty alleviation and the differential dependency of countries on fish and fishery resources. The work is based on model projections, data analyses, and national, regional, and basin-scale assessments. Overall, the results indicate that climate change will lead to significant changes in the availability and trade of fish products, with potentially important geopolitical and economic consequences, especially for those countries most dependent on the fisheries sector.
