The National Aquaculture Association requests that you participate in the 2021 COVID-19 impact survey. The financial impact analyses produced during 2020 by the survey team were critical to expanding the USDA Coronavirus Food Assistance Program (CFAP) to include US aquaculture and the information was shared with state governments and other federal agencies.
The purpose of this survey is to quantify the effects of the pandemic on commercial aquaculture, aquaponics and suppliers during the first half of 2021 (January – June). Please provide your responses based on the period of time between January 1st 2021 and June 30th 2021.

This survey should take about 20 minutes of your time to complete. This survey is a continuation of the effort started in 2020 to capture the evolving effects of coronavirus disease (COVID-19), but will be distributed only two times for 2021 (this instance and again in early 2022). Please consider participating in both of the 2021 national surveys. No personally identifiable information (name, address, e-mail, telephone number, IP address, etc.) will be collected. All data from this survey will remain anonymous.
This survey is being supported by funding from the National Sea Grant Office (NSGO) and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). 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 suppliers 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.
This survey will close at 11:59 pm (eastern time) on August 6th, 2020.
If you would like a copy of the summary results, or have any questions about this study, please contact: Jonathan van Senten – jvansenten@vt.edu or Matthew Smith – smith.11460@osu.edu.
