The lockdowns imposed to contain the COVID-19 spread had an indisputably cascading effect on the aquaculture industry across the globe. It has adversely impacted the Indian fisheries sector through changing purchaser demand, supply chain disruptions, trade restrictions, and also the livelihood of millions dependent on it. However, the consequential reduced fishing will also likely help in replenishment of the aquatic biodiversity and provide the balance needed in the long-term sustenance of the fisheries sector. The technological and policy interventions in pre- and post-harvest fisheries operations are anticipated to reduce some of these negative impacts in similar lockdown scenarios.
