El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) Effects on Fisheries and Aquaculture ISSN 2070-7010 FAO 660 FISHERIES AND AQUACULTURE TECHNICAL PAPER 660 El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) effects on fisheries and aquaculture El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) effects on fisheries and aquaculture This FAO Technical Paper synthesizes current knowledge on the impact of El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events on fisheries and aquaculture in the context of a changing climate. Fisheries and aquaculture are essential parts of the global food system. The recent discovery that ENSO is far more diverse than previously recognized highlights a pressing need to synthesize the impact of the different ENSO types on fisheries and aquaculture. The overall aim of this Technical Paper is to provide relevant, up-to-date information and help decision-makers identify the most appropriate interventions according to the diversity of ENSO types. In addition, the possible effects of climate change on these sectors can be partly illustrated by the current effects of ENSO events, which are themselves affected by climate change. The Technical Paper describes the diversity of ENSO events (Chapter 2), ENSO forecasting (Chapter 3) and ENSO in the context of climate change (Chapter 4). It includes a global overview and regional assessment of ENSO impact (Chapters 5 and 6) and a focus on coral bleaching and damage to reefs and related fisheries (Chapter 7). Finally, it synthesizes the lessons learned and the perspectives for ENSO and preparedness in a warmer ocean (Chapter 10).

In 2016, the Emergency and Rehabilitation Division of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) requested the FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Department to investigate further the impacts of ENSO on the fisheries and aquaculture sector and to suggest (disaster) planning strategies and mitigation measures. A first paper was prepared by Mr Neil Handisyde, followed by this Technical Paper prepared by the present authors, with contributions from, and under the overall direction of Manuel Barange and Florence Poulain (FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Department), with the aim to synthesize current knowledge on the impact of the variety of ENSO events on fisheries and aquaculture in the context of a changing climate, and to identify existing and recommended coping and adaptation strategies. This Technical Paper was edited by Claire Ward and laid out by Wendy Worrall (Fishmedia, South Africa). Thanks are also due to Marianne Guyonnet (FAO) for her role in preparing the document for publication. iv Abstract The survival of pre-industrial societies was tightly connected to climatic variation. The prominent global driver of year-to-year variation in the climate system is the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), a basin-scale phenomenon involving a coupling between the atmosphere and the ocean. The El Niño phenomenon was first recognized by South American fishers during the 1600s and was described as an unusual, warm ocean current off the coast of Peru. During strong El Niño events, tropical species arrive from the north while native fish species either migrate southwards or collapse, the most famous case being that of the Peruvian anchovy or anchoveta, populations of which typically collapse during these events. Seabirds and mammals along the Peruvian coast that largely depend on anchoveta for their food, as well as those occurring on the nearby Galapagos Islands, can also decline dramatically. The unusually warm water also causes heavy rain that can result in the coastal desert undergoing a floral bloom, while also being destructive to crops, property and infrastructure. In the course of the twentieth century, it was recognized that El Niño was not only a tropical coastal current but a large-scale phenomenon that affects weather patterns across the globe. The last five millennia have witnessed about 20 major El Niño events, which have radically affected the history of many societies in different parts of the world. ENSO impacts on climate, fisheries and aquaculture have recently been the focus of numerous scientific works but also stimulated considerable (and often overly- sensational) media coverage. It should, however, be recognized that no two El Niño events are quite alike and that this diversity results in a variety of ecological as well as institutional and socio-economic responses. The recent discovery that ENSO is far more diverse than previously recognized highlights a pressing need to synthesize the impact of the different ENSO types on fisheries and aquaculture, two key components of the global food supply system. In addition, the possible effects of climate change on these sectors can be partly illustrated

  • SUSTAINABLE FISHERIES and RESPONSIBLE AQUACULTURE: a Guide for USAID Staff and Partners
    SUSTAINABLE FISHERIES AND RESPONSIBLE AQUACULTURE: A Guide for USAID Staff and Partners June 2013 ABOUT THIS GUIDE GOAL This guide provides basic information on how to design programs to reform capture fisheries (also referred to as “wild” fisheries) and aquaculture sectors to ensure sound and effective development, environmental sustainability, economic profitability, and social responsibility. To achieve these objectives, this document focuses on ways to reduce the threats to biodiversity and ecosystem productivity through improved governance and more integrated planning and management practices. In the face of food insecurity, global climate change, and increasing population pressures, it is imperative that development programs help to maintain ecosystem resilience and the multiple goods and services that ecosystems provide. Conserving biodiversity and ecosystem functions are central to maintaining ecosystem integrity, health, and productivity. The intent of the guide is not to suggest that fisheries and aquaculture are interchangeable: these sectors are unique although linked. The world cannot afford to neglect global fisheries and expect aquaculture to fill that void. Global food security will not be achievable without reversing the decline of fisheries, restoring fisheries productivity, and moving towards more environmentally friendly and responsible aquaculture. There is a need for reform in both fisheries and aquaculture to reduce their environmental and social impacts. USAID’s experience has shown that well-designed programs can reform capture fisheries management, reducing threats to biodiversity while leading to increased productivity, incomes, and livelihoods. Agency programs have focused on an ecosystem-based approach to management in conjunction with improved governance, secure tenure and access to resources, and the application of modern management practices.

  • Emerging Risks from Marine Heat Waves
    COMMENT DOI: 10.1038/s41467-018-03163-6 OPEN Emerging risks from marine heat waves Thomas L. Frölicher1,2 & Charlotte Laufkötter 1,2 Recent marine heat waves have caused devastating impacts on marine ecosystems. Sub- stantial progress in understanding past and future changes in marine heat waves and their risks for marine ecosystems is needed to predict how marine systems, and the goods and 1234567890():,; services they provide, will evolve in the future. Extreme climate and weather events shape the structure of terrestrial biological systems and affect the biogeochemical functions and services they provide for society in a fundamental manner1. There is overwhelming evidence that atmospheric heat waves over land are changing under global warming, increasing the risk of severe, pervasive and in some cases irreversible impacts on natural and socio-economic systems2. In contrast, we know little how extreme events in the ocean, especially those associated with warming will change under global warming, and how they will impact marine organisms. This knowledge gap is of particular concern as some of the recent observed marine heat waves (MHWs) demonstrated the high vulnerability of marine organisms and ecosystems services to such extreme climate events. Definition, observations, and key processes A marine heat wave is usually defined as a coherent area of extreme warm sea surface tem- perature (SST) that persists for days to months3. MHWs have been observed in all major ocean basins over the recent decade, but only a few MHWs have been documented and analyzed extensively (Fig. 1). One of the first MHW that has been characterized in the literature occurred in 2003 in the northwestern Mediterranean Sea with SSTs reaching 3–5 °C above the 1982–2016 reference period4.
