Abstract: Climate change constitutes an increasing concern for aquaculture. The uncertainty surrounding the future implications of this phenomenon coupled with the financial importance of the sector necessitate the development of appropriate frameworks and tools that can support management decisions and ensure the sustainability of future aquaculture production. Facilitated by emerging information technologies, decision support systems (DSSs) are becoming increasingly popular in sectors of primary production and deal with various aspects of decision-making from the operational to the strategic level. In this paper we present ongoing work, in the frame of the EU-ClimeFish Project, towards the development of a computer-based DSS that simulates and visualises the impacts of different climate change scenarios on Greek aquaculture, including economic impacts. The description contains details on the structure, constituent models, and current status of implementation of the DSS. The applicability of the generated tool in decision-making is discussed and planning for further development is outlined.
