ABSTRACT: The potential relationship
between nature and Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is provided using cross-sectional macro-data collected
including 17 countries of major developed and developing nations whose number
of cases were greater than 500 in March 15th 2020. We found that the
correlation coefficient is -0.46 between fisheries stock
average growth rate per capita from
1994 to 2014 and number of COVID-19 cases in 2020. It suggests that the damage
of lives under water and cases of COVID-19 might be associated.
