Researchers say millions of people around the world could face famine as...
Analysis by an international teamexperts from the UK and Canada, led by scientists from Lancaster University, showed that climate change is the most common threat to the supply of vital trace minerals from marine fish catches. They found that the supply of micronutrients from fisheries is vulnerable in the first place.
Besides omega-3s, fish is an important source ofiron, zinc, calcium and vitamin A. Lack of these essential micronutrients can lead to diseases such as stunted growth and preeclampsia.
Clouds exacerbate climate change and influence global warming
Countries whose sources of micronutrientsat risk are generally tropical and include countries in East Asia and the Pacific such as Malaysia, Cambodia, Indonesia and Timor-Leste, as well as sub-Saharan Africa such as Mozambique and Sierra Leone.
The vulnerability of the fisheries of these countries toclimate change is especially great when you consider that the tropics are especially deficient in calcium, iron, zinc and vitamin A. In addition, these tropical countries are less resistant to the disruption of their fisheries due to climate change, as they depend heavily on fisheries to support their national economies and the diet of the population and have limited capacity to adapt to such a situation.
