Global warming will have a big impact on aquaculture. A rise in water temperature could<br />
result in a variety of negative effects, such as: reduced food conversion efficiency due to a rise<br />
in catabolic activity, asphyxia due to low dissolved oxygen, <strong>and</strong> an increased risk of infectious<br />
diseases due to high temperature stress. Techniques to reduce the impact of global warming<br />
on aquaculture of marine fish are underway. An initial step has been clarification of the<br />
relationship between growth <strong>and</strong> temperature in each species. The second step has been<br />
quantitative <strong>and</strong> qualitative analyses of bodily <strong>and</strong> organ functions at high temperature. The<br />
third step has been estimations of individual variations in physiological status <strong>and</strong> growth at<br />
high temperature. The physiological characters for four marine fishes (flounder, sea bream,<br />
yellowtail <strong>and</strong> herring) at high temperatures have been analyzed to date. The results indicate<br />
that the temperature for maximum growth in each species is higher than that of the area where<br />
the species occurs naturally <strong>and</strong> that the variation in individual growth rate at high<br />
temperature is wider than at each species natural temperature. Notably, some individuals were<br />
even recorded showing growth close to the survival temperature limit. Selection <strong>and</strong> breeding<br />
of individuals for the ability to grow sufficiently at high temperature will be an important<br />
measure to counter the effects of global warming on aquaculture.<br />
