“…Amid the COVID‐19 pandemic, there were three significant actions by the federal government. First, in direct response to fallout from COVID‐19, the CARES relief act directed $300 million to the seafood industry, though the distribution of these funds from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has reportedly been extremely slow, particularly for aquaculture (Gephart et al., 2020; van Senten et al., 2020). The federal government also purchased seafood directly, including 20 million pounds of shrimp (<1% total annual harvest) from Gulf of Mexico fishers (Gephart et al., 2020).…”

Ghoti papers Ghoti aims to serve as a forum for stimulating and pertinent ideas. Ghoti publishes succinct commentary and opinion that addresses important areas in fish and fisheries science. Ghoti contributions will be innovative and have a perspective that may lead to fresh and productive insight of concepts, issues and research agendas. All Ghoti contributions will be selected by the editors and peer reviewed. Etymology of Ghoti George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950), polymath, playwright, Nobel prize winner, and the most prolific letter writer in history, was an advocate of English spelling reform. He was reportedly fond of pointing out its absurdities by proving that 'fish' could be spelt 'ghoti'. That is: 'gh' as in 'rough', 'o' as in 'women' and 'ti' as in palatial.

Ninety percent of survey respondents indicated that their farm or business had been impacted by the COVID‐19 pandemic (van Senten et al, 2020c). Respondents represented all the major groups of U.S. aquaculture, with mollusk (41%) and foodfish (21%) producers making up most of the respondents (Table 1).…”

“…This paper summarizes the effects reported by U.S. aquaculture producers through a national survey and discusses the implications of these effects on the industry. This study will continue to collect data from producers quarterly throughout 2020; the results summarized and discussed here are from the first quarter survey, covering the period from January 1 to March 23, 2020 (van Senten et al, 2020a, 2020b, 2020c).…”

The U.S. aquaculture industry has experienced disruptions due to the global COVID‐19 pandemic. Responses from 537 U.S. aquaculture farms and businesses, collected through an online survey, revealed that the primary impact has been the disruption of traditional marketing channels. This has resulted in a cascade of effects, including the loss of revenue, consequences for farm labor, difficulty securing production inputs and services, and management challenges from on‐farm inventory of unsold fish/shellfish. Results from the Quarter 1 survey confirm that COVID‐19 has, and will continue to, negatively affect U.S. aquaculture for the duration of 2020, and possibly longer.

“…Fish and fishery products are the most heavily traded food commodity in the world and many seafood markets have expanded in the recent decades from strictly regional to global levels ( Cao et al, 2015 ; FAO, 2018 ). Taking the United States as example, 68% of the seafood produce are for trade and estimates that only 4% of mollusks primary point of sales are direct to consumers ( van Senten et al, 2020 ). Therefore, the worldwide lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic could have major impact on the supply of these food caused by decline of fishing activities worldwide ( Figure 3 ).…”

The recently emerged coronavirus disease (COVID-19), which has been characterised as a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO), is impacting all parts of human society including agriculture, manufacturing, and tertiary sectors involving all service provision industries. This paper aims to give an overview of potential host reservoirs that could cause pandemic outbreak caused by zoonotic transmission. Amongst all, continues surveillance in slaughterhouse for possible pathogens transmission is needed to prevent next pandemic outbreak. This paper also summary the potential threats of pandemic to agriculture and aquaculture sector that control almost the total food supply chain and market. The history lesson from the past, emerging and reemerging infectious disease including the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in 2002, Influenza A H1N1 (swine flu) in 2009, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) in 2012 and the recent COVID-19 should give us some clue to improve especially the governance to be more ready for next coming pandemic.
