Abstract
The Fisheries are vital for global food security. Its demand keeps on increasing due to increased world population and urbanisation. Many individuals rely upon them economically and for their food and, in current situation where food insecurity and poverty are becoming more prevalent, the need for development in fisheries play a significant role in ensuring a good quality of life. Food insecurity among vulnerable populations is increased by decreasing catches and harsh weather events, especially in developing nations where fisheries play a significant role. A key idea in guaranteeing a good standard of living is sustainable development, which highlights the necessity of addressing environmental issues while promoting economic progress. This article examines fish population impacts of climate change, both immediate and long-term. The impact of climate change on fishery communities from a socio-economic perspective is examined in detail, including how it may affect food supply, livelihoods, coastal ecosystems, and health concerns. The problems with food security brought on by modifications to aquatic environments as a result of worldwide warming are also covered in this, emphasising the indirect advantages of fisheries in terms of employment and the need for mitigation and adaptation measures to get past the challenges posed by changes in the climate.
