TASMANIA'S fisheries and agriculture industries are in jeopardy because of climate change, says a report released yesterday.

The report warns warming ocean waters could threaten Tasmania's abalone and rock lobster industries as well as farmed and wild fish stocks.

Temperature rises could also hit the state's dairy farms, vineyards and orchards.

The report by climate change expert Melanie Fitzpatrick, commissioned by the Australian Greens, shows climate change is already affecting Tasmania's environment and economy.

Greens Senator Christine Milne said all sectors of the state needed to focus urgently on how to adapt to the changes and to minimise their impacts.
