摘要
2020年3月,COVID-19大流行在孟加拉国迅速蔓延,影响到包括水产养殖在内的各个部门。然而,缺乏关于对该国水产养殖生产和盈利能力的影响的证据。本研究填补了这一空白,并于2020年4月至8月对孟加拉国五个主要养鱼区(satkira、kulna、Madaripur、Bhola和Mymensingh)的499名养鱼户进行了面对面和电话访谈,采用方便问卷调查的方式调查了COVID-19大流行的影响。结果显示,与大流行前相比,大流行期间水产养殖生产损失平均为29.1%。在新冠疫情爆发前,农民报告每公顷利润为3813美元,在疫情期间,每公顷损失为2565.4美元。标准多元线性回归分析表明,疫情期间,大型养殖场对水产养殖生产损失和经济损失的影响比小型养殖场更为显著[β = 0.15, P = 0.029]。通过基于秩的商(RBQ)确定了生产损失的原因,表明在封锁期间,鱼类运输成本增加以及种子和饲料价格占主导地位。由于买家减少,封锁和行动限制也降低了销售价格。政府为养鱼户提供了财政支持,但只有三分之一(36%)的回答者得到了财政援助。该研究建议实施中期和长期措施,例如加强通信网络、数字营销战略和制定战略规划举措,以改善灾害管理和复原力,以减轻大流行的影响。
Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Aquaculture Production and Profitability in Bangladesh: A Comprehensive Analysis
In March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic rapidly spread across Bangladesh, affecting various sectors, including aquaculture. However, there is a lack of evidence regarding the effects on aquaculture production and profitability in the country. The present study addresses this gap and investigates the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic using a convenience questionnaire survey utilising face-to-face and telephonic interviews with 499 fish farmers from five prominent fish-culture regions (Satkhira, Khulna, Madaripur, Bhola, and Mymensingh) in Bangladesh from April to August 2020. The results show aquaculture production losses averaging 29.1 % during the pandemic compared to the pre-pandemic period. Before the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, the farmers reported a profit of USD3813 per hectare, which turned into a loss of USD2565.4 per hectare during the pandemic period. The standard multiple linear regression analysis indicated that large farms experienced a more significant impact on aquaculture production loss and economic loss during the pandemic period compared to small farms [β = 0.15, P = 0.029]. The causes for the production loss were identified by rank based quotient (RBQ), indicating that increased fish transportation costs and prices of seed and feed dominated during the lockdown. The lockdown and movement restrictions also reduced selling prices because of fewer buyers. The government provided financial support to the fish farmers, but only onethird (36 %) of the respondents received financial aid. The study suggests implementing medium and long-term measures, such as strengthening communication networks, digital marketing strategies and developing strategic planning initiatives to improve disaster management and resilience to mitigate the effects of the pandemic.
