The Journal of Cleaner Production has a special issue dedicated to sustainable seafood, with a suite of papers covering a range of topics. The stated purpose of the special issue is to bring together a series of papers that will form a nucleus for the growth of an emerging area of scholarship.

A speech by Commissioner Joe Borg at the Baltic Sea 2020 conference on achieving sustainable fisheries, included this reference to climate change: “Fisheries can no longer operate in isolation. Instead, its activities must gel with others, such as coastal development and climate change mitigation. One illustration of this trend can already be seen in the environmental pillar of the Maritime Policy, the Marine Strategy Directive, which sets regional quality objectives which will have a direct bearing on the CFP.”

The Marine Climate Impact Partnership 2010 Annual report Card covers the impact of the climate on UK seas and outlines a number of physical parameters of the marine ecosystem which are defined by the climate, coining the phrase, ocean-climate.

This 6 page summary of the issues surrounding fisheries and climate change, "Fisheries and aquaculture in our changing climate ", was prepared as the consensus opinion of 20 agencies in preparation for the UN Climate talks in Copenhagen in 2009. It discusses the link between traditional human impacts on the marine environment, such as habitat destruction to the approaches needed when addressing climate change impacts and adaptation in fisheries. Unusually, it includes gender issues in fishing folk communities and the importance of strategic investment.
