Other pelagic fish, frozen

CPC v2.1 Code: 21216

About other pelagic fish, frozen

cpc code 21216 covers the import and export of a wide range of frozen pelagic fish species. Pelagic fish are those that inhabit the open ocean, away from the seafloor and coastal areas. This industry plays a vital role in the global seafood supply chain, providing a valuable source of protein and nutrients. As consumer demand for sustainable and diverse seafood options continues to grow, the trade in frozen pelagic fish has become increasingly important to meet this need across international markets.

Production process

The production of frozen pelagic fish typically involves catching the fish at sea, sorting and processing them on board fishing vessels, and then freezing the fish to preserve their quality and freshness. Advanced freezing technologies, such as blast freezing and cryogenic freezing, are commonly used to quickly lower the temperature of the fish and lock in their flavor and nutritional properties.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the frozen pelagic fish industry include fishing vessels, specialized equipment for catching, sorting, and processing the fish, as well as freezing and storage infrastructure. Skilled labor, such as fishermen, processing technicians, and logistics personnel, is also a critical input. Additionally, the industry relies on access to healthy, sustainable pelagic fish populations in the open ocean.

Production outputs

The primary output of cpc code 21216 is frozen pelagic fish, which can be consumed directly by households or used as an ingredient in a variety of seafood products. These frozen fish may be exported to other countries for further processing, distribution, or retail sale. Some of the related cpc codes that may consume the output of this industry include 21211 Fish, fresh or chilled, 21212 Fish, dried, salted or in brine, and 21217 Fish fillets, frozen.
