Abstract

This review aimed to discuss the vulnerability and climate change impacts on tropical fisheries in Asia using a systematic literature review. The study applied the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) to evaluate literature from 1990-2020. The results showed clustering of texts, keywords, and titles based on search terms like climate change, fisheries, and adaptation. High-scoring links revealed clusters: 1) climate change and food security, 2) biodiversity and environment protection, 3) conservation of resource, 4) climate change impacts in Asia, 5) fisheries. Abstracts and titles produced clusters on: 1) livelihood and food security, 2) fisheries catch, 3) stakeholder approaches, 4) Ecosystem services. While climate change dominated vulnerability and adaptation studies, it is only one of many stressors affecting fisheries and aquaculture. Adaptation is suggested as a solution for reducing vulnerability and increasing resilience in fishing communities. However, our findings indicate that the social and economic factors contributing to climate-induced vulnerability are still relatively neglected. Enhancing biodiversity and environmental protection can lead to a more productive and food-secure environment for farmers and fishers. It is crucial that interventions focus on adaptation and establishing science-based ‘adaptive fisheries co-management’ to engage fishing communities and address their broader vulnerabilities and aspirations.
