“…It was suggested that the climatic change impacts or increased temperature (=global warming) would be likely to have minimal impacts on aquaculture ). On the other hand, freshwater farming systems near to the coasts are likely to be impacted by sea level rise and concurrent seawater intrusion coupled with water scarcity, such as the pangasius (Pangasianodon hypophtalmus) farming systems in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam (Nguyen et al 2014). As such there is a need to encourage work on climate-change impacts on freshwater farming systems in China, and consequently to develop mitigating and adaptive strategies.…”

It is acknowledged that China is the mainstay in global aquaculture, contributing for example, 65.7 (of 76 321 310 t) and 63.6 (of 38 994 913 t) per cent to total global and freshwater aquaculture production, respectively, in 2011, significantly increasing the corresponding contributions from 36.1 and 38.5% of the global total (7 359 881 t) and global freshwater (2 342 706 t) aquaculture production in 1980. Overall, aquaculture production in China in turn has enabled to reduce our dependence on food fish supplies from a hunted to a farmed origin, like all the other staples. However, there are very few accounts on different subsectors of aquaculture in China and even less on variations in aquaculture developments within the country. This review attempts to trace the development trends in inland aquaculture in China in time and space and includes aspects on production, types and modes of culture, species cultured and marketing. It is evident that though inland aquaculture is practised in most provinces of China, the great bulk of it occurs in the area that lies approximately between 110 and 120°E and 19 and 35°N, in the Yangtze and Pearl River basins. The review also addresses emerging issues on freshwater aquaculture and possible ways of achieving sustainability in the long term.

“…Sea-level rise has the potential to affect coastal aquaculture operations through loss of culture area (Hargreaves 2014), greater and more distant salt intrusion into coastal groundwater (Ahmed 2013, Nguyen et al 2014, Smajgl et al 2015, Tully et al 2019, and, in some areas, the augmentation of seasonal or episodic flooding via storm surges (Wassmann et al 2004, Rhein et al 2013. Global mean sea level rose 1.2 ± 0.2 mm yr −1 between 1901 and 1990, with this rate increasing to 3.0 ± 0.7 mm yr −1 between 1993 and 2010 (Hay et al 2015).…”

Increases in global population and seafood demand are occurring simultaneously with fisheries decline in an era of rapid climate change. Aquaculture is well positioned to help meet the world's future seafood needs, but heavy reliance of most global aquaculture on the ambient environment and ecosystem services suggests inherent vulnerability to climate change effects. There are, however, opportunities for adaptation. Engineering and management solutions can reduce exposure to stressors or mitigate stressors through environmental control. Epigenetic adaptation may have the potential to improve stressor tolerance through parental or early life stage exposure. Stressor-resistant traits can be genetically selected for, and maintaining adequate population variability can improve resilience and overall fitness. Information at appropriate time scales is crucial for adaptive response, such as real-time data on stressor levels and/or species' responses, early warning of deleterious events, or prediction of longer-term change. Diet quality and quantity have the potential to meet increasing energetic and nutritional demands associated with mitigating the effects of abiotic and biotic climate change stressors. Research advancements in understanding how climate change affects aquaculture will benefit most from a combination of empirical studies, modelling approaches, and observations at the farm level. Research to support aquaculture adaptation requires an increasing amount of environmental data to guide biological response studies for regional applications. Increased experimental complexity, resources, and duration will be necessary to better understand the effects of multiple stressors. Ultimately, in order for aquaculture sectors to move beyond short-term coping responses, governance initiatives incorporating the changing needs of stakeholders, users, and culture ecosystems as a whole are required to facilitate planned climate change adaptation and mitigation.

“…Rice cropping systems in the Mekong delta have shown signs of stress in response to an increasing number of severe floods, droughts, storms and tropical cyclones, followed by growing population demand for food production (Lusterio 2009;Nguyen 2011;Berg and Tam 2012;Huysveld et al 2013;Son et al 2013;Ahmed et al 2014). Food production systems are rapidly expanding into the flood and salinity-intrusion areas (Tuong et al 2003;Kotera et al 2014), as a result of engineering works aimed at protecting populations and infrastructure from storms, rice cropping systems and shrimp farms from saltwater intrusion (Berg et al 2012;Nguyen et al 2014). The construction of several large-scale dams, and major channel-bed mining activities (Piman et al 2013), have now been reported as the cause of an imbalance between flow and sediment entrainment conditions (Xue et al 2011), affecting human livelihoods and the ecological equilibrium in the delta.…”

Predictions of exposure to the effects of climate change for the Mekong delta include a rising sea level, rising temperatures, increased variability in rainfall regime and higher frequency of extreme events (Kotera et al 2008;Haruyama and Ito 2009;Nguyen et al 2014). These changes are likely to have strong negative impacts on the production of food and human wellbeing (Nguyen 2011;Berg et al 2012;Berg and Tam 2012;Kotera et al 2014).…”

The combined effect of economic development, agricultural production practices, and change in consumption patterns is likely to increase the relative vulnerability of this delta to social and ecological changes (Few and Pham 2010;Coclanis and Stewart 2011;Dun 2011;Kuenzer and Renaud 2012;Quyet et al 2012;Piman et al 2013;Smith et al 2013;Dang et al 2014;Vu et al 2014).…”

Policy-making in social-ecological systems increasingly looks to iterative, evolutionary approaches that can address the inherent complexity of interactions between human wellbeing, provision of goods and the maintenance of ecosystem services. Here, we show how the analysis of available time-series in tropical delta regions over past decades can provide important insight into the social-ecological system dynamics in deltaic regions. The paper provides exploratory analysis of the recent changes that have occurred in the major elements of three tropical deltaic social-ecological systems, such as demography, economy, health, climate, food, and water. Timeseries data from official statistics, monitoring programmes and Earth observation data are analysed to explore possible trends, slow and fast variables, and observed drivers of change in the Amazon, Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna and Mekong deltas. In the Ganges-BrahmaputraMeghna delta zone, increasing gross domestic product and per capita income levels since the 1980s mirror rising levels of food and inland fish production. In contrast, non-food ecosystem services, such as water availability, water quality and land stability appear to be deteriorating. In the Amazon delta, natural and anthropogenic perturbations are continuously degrading key ecosystem services, such as carbon storage in biomass and soils, the regulation of water balance, and the modulation of regional climate patterns. In the Mekong delta, rapid economic development, changing land use practices and salinity intrusion, are progressively putting more pressure on the delivery of important provisioning services, such as rice and inland aquaculture production, which are key sources of staple food, farm incomes and export revenue. Observed changes in many key indicators of ecosystem services point to a changing dynamic state and increased probability of systemic threshold transformations in the near future.
