On Wednesday, his family announced he had passed away in the United States, following a long illness.
Global warming is a big challenge for warm-blooded animals, which must maintain a constant body temperature to prevent their bodies from overheating.Animals are responding in various ways: moving to cooler areas or higher ground, changing the timing of key life events such as breeding and migration, or switching their body size.
The research is published in the journal,Temperatures in the seas around the UK and Ireland have soared in the past week with some areas now 4C warmer than normal, with potential implications for marine life and people going swimming.The heatwave is most intense off the west coast of Ireland as well as pockets off the coasts of Cornwall and Devon, according to scientists at the National Oceanography Centre and the Met Office.
Sea temperatures in April and the first half of May were the highest recorded during those months since monitoring began 45 years ago.Climate change is causing oceans to warm around the globe and is making marine heatwaves like this one more likely.
"It's super intense at the moment. The marine heatwave has really soared this week," says Dr Ségolène Berthou at the Met Office.
The entire west coast of the UK is now about 2.5C above average. A large portion of Scottish waters are 2-3C warmer than usual for the time of year.When these concerns are put to Mr Clement from Salmón Chile, he explains that there are different categories for the salmon farming concessions.
"In terms of concessions in the national parks we have 21 that we aren't using," he says. "We have told the government that we don't want to be there and asked to be relocated but nothing has happened for many years."Regarding salmon farming in national reserves, he says that is a different environment which, according to Chilean law and the rules and regulations they follow, they can operate in.
In Chile, the salmon industry is regulated by The Undersecretariat for Fisheries and Aquaculture, a public body that is part of the Ministry of Economy, Development and Tourism.It looks at environmental protection and sustainability, and is also working on a new general aquaculture law to further regulate the sector.
