About rock lobster and other sea crawfish, live, fresh or chilled

cpc code 0432 covers the trade and production of rock lobster and other sea crawfish, a highly valuable and sought-after seafood delicacy. This industry plays a significant role in the global food supply chain, providing a source of nutrition and employment for many coastal communities around the world. As a key component of the broader fishing and aquaculture sector, the rock lobster industry contributes to the overall economic well-being of countries engaged in international trade of these crustaceans.

Production process

Rock lobsters and sea crawfish are typically harvested using specialized traps and nets, often deployed from small fishing vessels. The catch is then carefully handled and transported to processing facilities, where the lobsters may be graded, packaged, and shipped to domestic and international markets while still alive and fresh. In some cases, the lobsters may also be cooked, frozen, or otherwise processed to extend their shelf life and expand their distribution.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the rock lobster and sea crawfish industry include the natural marine environment, fishing vessels and equipment, and labor. Fishermen rely on their knowledge of local ecosystems and migration patterns to locate and capture these crustaceans. Processing facilities also require access to reliable transportation networks, packaging materials, and energy sources to support their operations.

Production outputs

The primary output of cpc code 0432 is live, fresh, or chilled rock lobster and sea crawfish, which are consumed as a high-end seafood delicacy in many parts of the world. These products may be further processed and distributed under 0433 Crustaceans, frozen, 0434 Crustaceans, dried, salted or in brine, or other relevant classification codes, depending on the final form and intended market.
