  abstract = {{T}he {COVID}-19 pandemic has depressed the world economy to a magnitude and timeliness that could hardly be predicted by economists. {B}ecause of remoteness and a lack of resources, small island developing states ({SIDS}) are often considered more vulnerable than others to external shocks such as weatherization or disease. {I}n 2020, the {R}epublic of {S}eychelles has suffered a 70% collapse of foreign visitors, while tourism represents a key pillar of the economy with two thirds of its {G}ross {D}omestic {P}roduct and employment. {T}he fishery-related industries have nonetheless resisted to this economic shock and become more prominent, with a foreign-owned tuna fleet supplying the local canning plant, main provider of private jobs and trade in the archipelago. {T}his research attempts to forecast the economic effects of several scenarios affecting both fishing and tourism activities in a small island economy. {I}t shows that fish-related industries can represent a resilient contributor to the domestic economy as long as natural stocks are sustainably managed.},
