About fish; live, trout (salmo trutta, oncorhynchus mykiss, oncorhynchus clarki, oncorhynchus aguabonita, oncorhynchus gilae, oncorhynchus apache and oncorhynchus chrysogaster)

HS code 030191 covers the trade of live trout, a highly valuable and sought-after fish species in the global seafood market. Trout farming is a significant industry, providing a sustainable source of protein and contributing to the broader 030100 Fish and crustaceans, molluscs and other aquatic invertebrates sector. As a versatile and nutritious food item, live trout is in high demand across various culinary and commercial applications.

Production process

The production of live trout typically involves aquaculture techniques, where the fish are raised in controlled environments such as ponds, tanks, or raceways. Trout farmers carefully manage water quality, temperature, and feeding to ensure the optimal growth and health of the fish. The fish are often harvested at a specific size or age, depending on market demands and regulatory requirements.

Production inputs

The key inputs for the live trout industry include high-quality freshwater sources, specialized trout feed, and hatchery-raised fingerlings or juveniles. Trout farmers also require access to suitable land or water bodies, as well as specialized equipment like aeration systems, filtration units, and harvesting gear. Additionally, the industry relies on skilled labor and technical expertise to manage the various aspects of trout farming.

Production outputs

Live trout produced under HS code 030191 are primarily consumed as a fresh or frozen food item, catering to the needs of 030210 Fish, fresh or chilled and 030220 Fish, frozen industries. The trout may also be used in the production of value-added seafood products, such as smoked or canned trout, which fall under other HS codes like 030541 Fish, smoked, including fillets and 160420 Fish, prepared or preserved; other than whole or in pieces.
