At 8 p.m. on Tuesday, March 24, India’s prime minister, Narendra Modi, announced that a nation wide lockdown would start in just four hours. Suddenly, all public and private industries were shut down to stem the spread of COVID-19. Domestic and international travel by air, road, and rail was suspended. So when fishers returned to the shore, they found empty harbors with no traders, no transportation facilities, and shuttered ice plants, processing factories, and markets. “We had no idea that a lockdown was going to happen,” says Siddharth Chamudiya, a trawler owner who returned to port in Gujarat, India, on the 24th after a 15-day fishing trip. With difficulty, he managed to sell his stock of fish at one-quarter the original price.
