Planning for production of freshwater fish fry in a variable climate in Northern Thailand

The study examines how climate variability affects freshwater fish fry production in 15 government hatcheries in Northern Thailand, identifying key constraints and proposing resilience strategies.

• Hatchery production planning depends on multiple variables, including farmer demand, hatchery capacity, water resource availability, local climate/area factors, and the specific requirements of the fish species.
• Nile tilapia is the primary species cultured, with production concentrated in the wet season because dry season drought and cold spells disrupt production and lower demand, while the wet season brings flood risks.
• To increase resilience to climate change, the authors recommend enhancing hatchery management to handle current variability, improving monitoring and information systems for early risk detection, and investing in R&D for alternative species, breeding, and water management.
