Global warming has a profound effect on aquaculture. Salmon aquaculture, as an emerging industry in China, is particularly vulnerable to climate change. For this reason, spatial planning with mechanistic understanding is essential for mitigating and adapting to the impacts of climate change. Through the use of dynamic energy budget models for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) with fine-scale environmental
