Abstract

Easton White (CAS) and colleagues will examine the effects of COVID-19-related shutdowns on fisheries and fish populations. Using existing data on fish landings and the fish market, the team will analyze how measures taken in response to COVID-19, such as shortened fishing seasons, fishery closures, and restrictions on specific types of fishing, have impacted the global fish market and fish populations. This research will first focus on fisheries within the United States but is anticipated to grow to an international scale. https://www.uvm.edu/gund/news/us-seafood-industry-flounders-due-covid-19
