In times of global shocks affecting production and markets, the Norwegian seafood industry may therefore be vulnerable. Hence, it is fundamental to understand how resilient the seafood industry is to environmental and socio-political shocks to identify domestic and external threats to economic sustainability. The primary objective of SEAVID19 is to systematically identify, understand, and analyse how the seafood industry has handled the effects of Covid-19 and to what extent the seafood industry has innovated and transitioned due to the crisis. The heterogeneity of the effects for different sectors and products within the industry will be captured with a comparative analysis. SEAVID19 aims to bring knowledge forward for tackling future market crises to ensure an economically sustainable seafood industry. In collaboration with the Seafood industry and other stakeholders, we collect data from in-depth interviews, participatory stakeholder workshops, surveys, financial databases, microdata on trade transactions and other relevant data sources. The main results from the project include key measures that may benefit the industry, making it more resilient to similar shocks in the future. The results from SEAVID19 will be valuable for industry, regulatory bodies, the scientific community, and the public moving forward. SINTEF Ocean is the project manager and is joined by an excellent team of partners who will form a stakeholder steering committee and participate actively in the implementation of the project: SINTEF Industry, SINTEF Digital, NORCE, The Leibniz Institute of Agricultural Development in Transition Economies (IAMO), Norwegian Seafood Council (NSC), Sjømat Norge, Sjømatbedriftene and Teknologi Akvarena (NCE Aquatech Cluster).
