Many small-scale fishing operations lack access to credit or other financing options that would help them stay afloat during this difficult time. Additionally, there are concerns about food safety due to poor hygiene practices at some processing plants which could lead to contamination of seafood products with COVID-19 virus particles. Finally, there is also an increased risk of illegal fishing activity as regulations are not being strictly enforced by authorities amid the crisis situation caused by COVID-19.
