Table 2.
List of surveyed mitigation responses at a local / internal scale (i.e., farm-based and related to the supply chain; respondents were asked to report their preference, scaled from 1 = not adopted to 10 = very highly adopted) and list of surveyed preferences on national / external scale mitigation measures (scaled from 1 = not preferred to 10 = very highly preferred).
Mitigation responses at a local / internal scale | Social distancing (e.g., work shifts) | Increase work efficiency | Additional hiring (e.g., new professional profiles) | Firing personnel | Adoption of Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture solutions | Changes in farm techniques | Reduction of farm size (e.g., number of cages or used surface) | Stocking solutions (e.g., freezing and smoking) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Preferences on potential national / external scale mitigation measures | Direct sales to customers | Fostering supply chains | Seeking new markets (e.g., canning industry) | Direct economic support (e.g., economic subsidy from regional or national bodies) | Exploration of new market strategies (e.g., online retail system and brand) | Direct support to scientists |
