Abstract: We conducted a monthly phone survey with fish supply chain actors in Myanmar to assess impacts of COVID-19 on the availability and price of aquatic foods and production inputs. Respondents answered questions about their activity between the months of February and July 2020. The sample totalled 142 respondents, comprised of the following: feed mills (4), feed sellers (12), fish hatcheries (15), fish farmers (45), fishers (25), traders (12), processors (11) and retailers (14). Areas covered included the regions of Ayeyarwady (29%), Yangon (21%), Shan State (25%), Sagaing (22%), and Mandalay (3%). A complete summary of survey results can be accessed here.
