on the freshwater ecosystem. Aquaculture as established is not practiced evenly
across the world. Therefore, the study highlights the current aquaculture practices
within the regions and across the different environments to ascertain the major
effects of climate variations on the freshwater ecosystem and aquaculture practices
in particular. The main elements of climate change that would impact on aquaculture
production, such as sea level and temperature rise, changes is Monsoon patterns
and extreme climatic events and water stress, among others were properly looked
at and the reasons for their effects addressed. The different elements of climate
change that are experienced in varying degrees can be either positive or negative
or directly or indirectly depending on the different culture systems that are
practiced. It is in the process of our study that we brought out the complex
attributes of climate change as it affects aquaculture productivity and the
possible roles that the society can play to ameliorate the harsh effects of
this ugly monster, referred to as Climate
change and the consequent global warming trends.]]>APF,20072007Araguas, R.M., N. Sanz, C. Pla and J.L. Garcia‐Marin,2004652837Brown, J.D., D.E. Swayne, R.J. Cooper, R.E. Burns and D.E.
