About freshwater fish, live, fresh or chilled

cpc code 0421 covers the production and trade of live, fresh or chilled freshwater fish. This industry plays a vital role in the global food supply chain, providing a source of protein and nutrition for millions of people worldwide. Freshwater fish farming and capture fisheries are important economic activities, contributing to employment, exports, and food security in many countries.

Production process

The production of live, fresh or chilled freshwater fish involves various techniques, including aquaculture, where fish are raised in controlled environments such as ponds, tanks, or raceways, and capture fisheries, where fish are caught from natural water bodies like rivers, lakes, and reservoirs. Key production methods include feeding, water quality management, disease control, and harvesting.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the freshwater fish industry include water resources, fish fry or fingerlings, feed (e.g., pellets, grains, or natural food sources), equipment for water treatment and aeration, and labor for feeding, monitoring, and harvesting. Specialized equipment like nets, tanks, and aerators are also essential for efficient production.

Production outputs

The primary output of cpc code 0421 is live, fresh or chilled freshwater fish, which can be consumed directly or used as an input for other industries, such as 0422 Processed fish, crustaceans and molluscs, 1020 Fish, crustaceans and molluscs products, and the food service and retail sectors.
