Abstract
First paragraph: KEY FACTS What is happening ¡ñ In the UK, there have been no major changes to the types or locations of species farmed due to climate change. ¡ñ At salmon farms, a link between milder winter temperatures, disease and increased fish mortality has been identified and marine heatwaves can contribute to mass mortality events. ¡ñ In Scotland, some shellfish areas have experienced poor spat settlement and mortality, but the link to climate change is not fully established.
