Like most sectors, the global seafood industry has experienced major disruptions wrought by the COVID-19 pandemic over the past two-plus years. At the same time, the far-reaching impacts of the pandemic have given rise to innovations and new models in the sector. To characterize these changes, the international nonprofit Future of Fish conducted research last year to identify major patterns in the global seafood sector’s ongoing response to the pandemic. Our Shared Seas collaborated with the Future of Fish team to elevate topline findings from its companion reports.
This report focuses on the global-scale impacts that COVID has had on the seafood industry. For coverage of how COVID-19 has impacted direct-to-consumer opportunities for the seafood market, see the accompanying research digest here.
These reports feature timely insights on the current landscape and future directions for the sector—whether you are interested in the sustainable seafood movement, social responsibility in the industry, emerging technologies, contributions to local food security, or resilient supply chains.
