"As climate change wreaks havoc with the world’s oceans, future production of
fish, crustaceans and other aquatic organisms is under threat.
Our new research shows how this disturbance will play out for Australia’s prawn
industry, which is concentrated in Queensland. We found by 2100, sea level rise
threatens to flood 98% of the state’s approved prawn areas.
The problem is not confined to prawns – Queensland barramundi farming is also
at risk from sea-level rise. Climate change also poses challenges for other
major seafood industries in Australia, including salmon in Tasmania.
Australian seafood is vital to our culture and diets, and the national economy.
We must take steps now to ensure the aquaculture industry thrives in a warmer
world."
