Market Dynamics:

For example, the Environment Agency has put over USD 65,000 into 12 projects in Hampshire and Sussex. This money will go toward improving fisheries and increasing fish stocks.

COVID-19 Impact: Negative impact on the global carp market

The lockdown implemented during the COVID-19 outbreak disrupted transportation and temporarily halted the supply of fish food products. Measures resulting from COVID-19 regulations have the potential to disrupt or stop aquaculture and fishing supply networks. Unsold carp production has increased quantities of live fish stocks in aquaculture. Furthermore, it has increased the expense of feeding and increased the risk of fish mortality worldwide. However, the rising demand for fish products following the COVID-19 pandemic would provide chances for market participants. As a result, the market is likely to grow at a healthy rate in the future years.
