About farmed ornamental fish
cpc code 04112 covers the production of farmed ornamental fish, a significant industry within the broader aquaculture sector. Ornamental fish are bred and raised for their aesthetic appeal, primarily for use in home aquariums and decorative water features. This industry plays an important role in the global pet trade, providing a diverse array of colorful and unique fish species to consumers around the world.
Production process
The production of farmed ornamental fish involves a range of specialized techniques. Fish are typically bred and raised in controlled, indoor aquaculture facilities, where factors such as water temperature, pH, and oxygen levels can be carefully monitored and adjusted. Hatcheries are used to incubate and raise the fish from eggs, while grow-out facilities provide the necessary space and resources for the fish to mature. Advanced feeding, filtration, and water treatment systems are essential to maintain the health and well-being of the fish.
Production inputs
The primary inputs for the farmed ornamental fish industry include freshwater, specialized fish feed, and various equipment and infrastructure. Aquaculture facilities require a reliable source of clean, high-quality water, as well as advanced filtration and water treatment systems. Specialized fish feed, formulated to meet the nutritional needs of the target species, is another crucial input. Additionally, the industry relies on a range of equipment, such as tanks, pumps, aerators, and monitoring devices, to ensure optimal growing conditions.
Production outputs
The primary output of the farmed ornamental fish industry is the fish themselves, which are sold to wholesalers, retailers, and directly to consumers. These ornamental fish are then used in home aquariums, public displays, and other decorative water features. The industry's output may also be consumed by 04111 Aquaculture, as farmed ornamental fish can be used as live feed for other aquaculture species.
