Welfare impact of climate change on capture fisheries in Vietnam

wind regimes [48]; more intensive annual rainfall in high latitude and equatorial Pacific regions [50], which leads to varying salinity and rising acidity [51, 52]; increase in the fre- quency of extreme El Niño and La Niña events [53]. Marine fishes and other aquatic species are poikilotherms whose internal temperature var- ies considerably. They are susceptible to variation in environmental temperature and migrate to water areas with their preferred warmth [23, 54–56]. Lower oxygen concentration and higher hydrogen potential alter unfavorably to aquatic species [57, 58]. Acidification is also a Fig 1.
