Climate change is a problem that has been accentuated in recent years worldwide, because it affects the primary economic sectors, one of them being the fishing sector, which affects the distribution of hydrobiological resources and indirectly the quality of life of populations dependent on these resources. The objective of the research was to present the studies related to the vul nerability to climate change of fishing communities, to know the indicators involved in this dyna mic and complex system. The research topic focused on answering the problem question: what indicators are used to assess vulnerability to climate change in fishing communities? The methodology used consisted of the search and review of scientific articles, considering inclusion and exclusion criteria. Twenty-two studies, published between 2012 and April 2022, were analyzed. The studies show consistency in using social and economic indicators to measure sensitivity and adaptive capacity, considering that these depend on each fishing community, while the exposu re factor is seen directly influenced by unavoidable climatological changes. The findings of this study have scientific and theoretical relevance because they provide fundamental information on scientific research that addresses the climate change situation, focused on the study of the vulnerability of fishing communities.
