Abstract

Seafood consumption provides nutrients linked to reductions in malnutrition and disease for nearly half the global population. Almost half of the world’s seafood comes from small-scale fisheries (SSFs), which also employ 90% of the world’s fishers and provide crucial food and livelihoods in coastal communities globally. This important industry virtually collapsed in January, 2020, as the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic shuttered one of the world’s largest seafood markets, China. The closure of a single dominant market highlighted the growing vulnerability of SSFs to global market shocks, as many such fisheries increasingly rely on a limited number of foreign buyers rather than less lucrative domestic markets.
