What climate-related health impacts face aquaculture species and how can they be
managed through improved health and welfare practices?
Background
Aquaculture is a significant part of Scotland's marine and freshwater economy, with
the potential to contribute to food security, economic growth, and rural development.
Sustainable development of the Scotland’s finfish, shellfish and seaweed industries
following the Scottish Government’s Vision for the sector by 2045, managing environmental
interactions, and maximising benefits are essential for delivering the Blue Economy Vision.
Research is needed to support innovation, sustainability, and responsible growth in the
sector.
