About fish; live
HS code 0301 covers the trade of live fish, a vital component of the global food supply chain. This industry plays a crucial role in providing a sustainable source of protein and supporting the livelihoods of millions of people worldwide. The live fish trade encompasses a diverse range of species, from freshwater to marine, and serves both commercial and recreational markets.
Production process
The production of live fish involves various techniques, including aquaculture, wild capture, and hatchery operations. Aquaculture, the farming of fish in controlled environments, is a rapidly growing segment of the industry, allowing for more efficient and sustainable production. Wild capture fisheries, on the other hand, rely on traditional fishing methods to harvest fish from natural habitats. Hatcheries play a crucial role in replenishing fish populations and supporting conservation efforts.
Production inputs
The live fish industry requires a range of inputs, including water resources, feed, specialized equipment, and skilled labor. Aquaculture operations rely on water management systems, aeration equipment, and high-quality feed formulations to ensure the health and well-being of the fish. Wild capture fisheries require vessels, fishing gear, and fuel to access and harvest fish from their natural habitats. Hatcheries require specialized facilities, incubation equipment, and broodstock to produce and raise young fish.
Production outputs
The primary output of the live fish industry is, of course, live fish. These live fish are then consumed directly or used as inputs for other industries, such as 0302 Fish; fresh or chilled, 0303 Fish; frozen, and 0304 Fish fillets and other fish meat. The live fish trade also supports related industries, such as aquarium and pet supplies, as well as recreational fishing activities.
