We are requesting your participation in the second and final 2021 COVID-19 impact survey. The purpose of this survey is to quantify the effects of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) on commercial aquaculture, aquaponics and suppliers during the second half of 2021 (July – December). Results from this on-going study have been used to communicate the economic impact of COVID-19 on commercial aquaculture, aquaponics or suppliers to State and Federal agencies, in an effort to secure economic relief or existing program adjustments to benefit US aquaculture. Please provide your responses based on the period of time between July 1st 2021 and December 31st 2021.
