Please participate in the Virginia Tech and The Ohio State University organized Quarter 4 (2020) national survey of the effects of the 2020 pandemic on your aquaculture farm or business. Even if you have not been negatively affected, the pandemic economic impacts are needed to effectively report what is happening to US aquaculture.
This link is for the Quarter 4 survey covering the period from October 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020.

Background Information
In response to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), The Ohio State University and Virginia Tech have been collecting information about how your farm or business has been affected by this pandemic. This effort has been repeated quarterly to capture the evolving impacts of coronavirus disease on U.S. aquaculture, aquaponics, and allied businesses.
This survey is being supported by funding from the National Sea Grant Office (NSGO) and the NOAA Fisheries. There are no benefits or rewards for participating in this study. Results from this study may be used to communicate the effects of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) on commercial aquaculture, aquaponics or allied businesses to State and Federal agencies, in an effort to secure relief. Results from this study may also be published in the future. Participation in this research survey is voluntary. By continuing with this survey, you are consenting to the use of your responses for research purposes. If you do not consent for your responses to be used for research purposes, please discontinue this survey by closing the browser window.
