CPC v2.1 Code: 045

About other aquatic invertebrates, live, fresh or chilled

cpc code 045 covers the import and export of a diverse range of live, fresh, or chilled aquatic invertebrates. This industry plays a vital role in the global seafood supply chain, providing a wide variety of marine species for consumption, research, and the aquarium trade. As a key component of the broader fishing and aquaculture sector, the trade in live aquatic invertebrates contributes significantly to the world economy and food security.

Production process

The production techniques for live, fresh, or chilled aquatic invertebrates vary depending on the specific species. In general, these animals are harvested from their natural habitats, such as oceans, lakes, and rivers, using a range of fishing methods. Careful handling and transportation techniques are essential to ensure the invertebrates remain alive and in good condition during the export process.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the trade in live, fresh, or chilled aquatic invertebrates include fishing vessels, specialized equipment for capturing and handling the animals, and transportation infrastructure such as refrigerated trucks and cargo ships. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce of fishermen, aquaculture specialists, and logistics professionals to ensure the efficient and sustainable harvesting, processing, and distribution of these products.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of cpc code 045 are live, fresh, or chilled aquatic invertebrates, which are consumed as seafood or used in the aquarium trade. These invertebrates may include 0411 Crustaceans, live, fresh or chilled, 0412 Molluscs, live, fresh or chilled, and other species such as sea cucumbers, sea urchins, and jellyfish. The outputs of this industry are often used as inputs for 0211 Meat of bovine animals, fresh or chilled and 0212 Meat of swine, fresh or chilled producers, as well as the broader food processing and retail sectors.
