ABSTRACT: Climate change is a global reality and all food production sectors are badly affected by this phenomenon. Aquaculture, the fastest growing food production sector is not an exception. Thousands of Indian aqua-farmers are facing problems pertaining to production and profit in the sector. The current paper discusses the issues of climate change on the aquaculture sector in Kerala which is a small state in India. The efforts undertaken by the Government towards mitigating the problems and the way forward are also detailed.
