Climate variability refers to the variability observed in the climate record in periods when the state of the climate system is not showing changes. If the climate state changes, usually characterized by a shift in means, then the frequency of formerly rare events on the side to which the mean has shifted might occur more frequently with increasing climate variability. Natural variability is a characteristic of the global climate and occurs on both long and short-time scales. Aquaculture practices involve the breeding, rearing, and harvesting of aquatic organisms in freshwater, brackish water, or marine environments. Aquaculture is a rapidly growing sector of nutrition security in Gangetic West Bengal. A study was conducted on West Bengal in India, one of the eastern states of India. West Bengal state has different types of agroclimatic zones. Aquaculture in West Bengal has tremendous potential to grow as an industry. Residents of West Bengal must understand the value of local wetlands and the importance of the conservation of wet lands. Government institutes should collectively work with different educational hubs, scientists, and NGOs on beneficial issues of the state so that aquaculture conservation and development and appropriate adaptation strategies can be adopted.
