About flatfish, live, fresh or chilled
cpc code 0423 covers the import and export of live, fresh, or chilled flatfish. Flatfish are a diverse group of marine fish that swim and rest on their sides, with both eyes on one side of their head. They are an important commercial species, highly valued for their delicate, sweet flavor and firm texture. The global flatfish trade plays a significant role in the seafood industry, contributing to food security and economic development in many coastal regions.
Production process
Flatfish are typically caught using a variety of fishing methods, including trawling, gillnetting, and long-lining. After capture, the fish are carefully handled and stored to maintain their freshness and quality. Live flatfish are often transported in specialized tanks or containers to ensure their survival during transit. Fresh or chilled flatfish are typically packed in ice or refrigerated containers to preserve their condition.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the flatfish industry include fishing vessels, fishing gear (e.g., nets, lines, hooks), transportation equipment (e.g., refrigerated trucks, cargo ships), and storage facilities (e.g., cold storage, processing plants). Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce of fishermen, processors, and logistics personnel to ensure the efficient and sustainable harvesting, handling, and distribution of flatfish.
