About fish; live, ornamental, freshwater
HS code 030111 covers the trade of live, ornamental freshwater fish. This industry plays a significant role in the global aquarium and pet trade, providing a diverse range of colorful and unique fish species to hobbyists and enthusiasts worldwide. Freshwater ornamental fish are highly valued for their aesthetic appeal and are an important part of the broader aquaculture sector, which contributes to both the recreational and commercial aspects of the global economy.
Production process
The production of live, ornamental freshwater fish typically involves specialized breeding and rearing techniques. Breeders carefully select parent stock, control water parameters, and monitor the fish's development to ensure the health and vibrancy of the offspring. Advanced aquaculture methods, such as recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS), are often employed to optimize water quality, temperature, and other environmental factors critical to the fish's well-being.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of live, ornamental freshwater fish include high-quality water sources, specialized fish food and supplements, water filtration and aeration equipment, and skilled labor to manage the breeding and rearing processes. Hatcheries and aquaculture facilities also require access to broodstock, which are the parent fish used to produce the next generation of ornamental fish.
Production outputs
The primary output of HS code 030111 is the live, ornamental freshwater fish themselves, which are then sold to wholesalers, retailers, and directly to consumers for use in aquariums and other decorative water features. These fish may be consumed by other industries, such as 030119 Fish; live, other than ornamental, freshwater for food production or 950720 Fish hooks, line fishing rods and tackle; parts and accessories thereof for use in recreational fishing.
