ABSTRACT
In Indian context, COVID-19 pandemic is an unrivalled shock for the economy and health system
as a whole. Disruption of demand and supply chain of agricultural commodity like fish and
fishery products for the prolonged nation-wide lockdown will directly affect 14.5 million people
associated with the sector. The magnitude of the versatile impact includes production
distribution and marketing of inland fisheries, marine capture fisheries, seed supply and seafood
export. This working paper aims to describe the multidirectional economic impacts of the
fisheries sector from this pandemic and a set of policy recommendation to ameliorate this shock.
Keywords: COVID-19, Economic downturn, Fish farming, Supply chain, Seafood export.
