More than 90% of the world's marine food supplies are at risk from environmental changes such as rising temperatures and pollution, with top producers like China, Norway and the United States facing the biggest threat, new research showed on Monday.
"Blue food" includes more than 2,190 species of fish, shellfish, plants and algae as well as more than 540 species farmed in fresh water, helping sustain 3.2 billion people worldwide.
"Although we have made some progress with climate change, our adaptation strategies for blue food systems facing environmental change are still underdeveloped and need urgent attention," said Rebecca Short, researcher at the Stockholm Resilience Centre and co-lead author. They include rising sea levels and temperatures, ocean acidification, changes in rainfall, as well as non-climate factors like algal blooms and pollution from mercury, pesticides or antibiotics.

Civil rights icon James Meredith, 90, falls at Mississippi event but has no visible injuriesCivil rights icon James Meredith fell outside the Mississippi Capitol at an event marking his 90th birthday. He suffered no visible injuries. Meredith tumbled forward onto a portable lectern Sunday as he stood to speak to some 200 people. Those around him scrambled to help him into a wheelchair. An ambulance crew checked Meredith afterward before he left with friends and family. A person close to the family said hours later that Meredith was doing better and resting at home. White mobs rioted in 1962 when Meredith enrolled as the first Black student at the University of Mississippi. In 1966, Meredith set out to promote Black voting rights and prove a Black man could walk through Mississippi without fear. A white man shot and wounded him on the second day.
