With increasing population, food security is a significant concern for the future. The impact of food production on the environment has prompted the evaluation of shifting diets from meat to fish and seafood for environmental and health benefits. The spread of infectious animal diseases in a warming climate poses a risk to sustainable aquaculture development. A meta-analysis reveals a positive correlation between global warming and viral virulence, indicating a potential threat to aquaculture and global food security.
With an ever-increasing human population, food security remains a central issue for the coming years. The magnitude of the environmental impacts of food production has motivated the assessment of the environmental and health benefits of shifting diets, from meat to fish and seafood. One of the main concerns for the sustainable development of aquaculture is the emergence and spread of infectious animal diseases in a warming climate. We conducted a meta-analysis to investigate the influence of global warming on mortality due to viral infections in farmed aquatic animals. We found a positive trend between increasing temperature and increasing viral virulence, with an increase in water temperature of 1 degrees C resulting in an increase in mortality of 1.47-8.33% in OsHV-1 infected oysters, 2.55-6.98% in carps infected with CyHV-3 and 2.18-5.37% in fishes infected with NVVs. We suggest that global warming is going to pose a risk of viral disease outbreaks in aquaculture and could compromise global food security.
