About fish; live, eels (anguilla spp.)
HS code 030192 covers the trade of live eels (Anguilla spp.), an important component of the global seafood industry. Eels are highly valued for their unique flavor and texture, and are widely consumed in various cuisines around the world. The eel trade plays a significant role in the international food supply chain, contributing to food security and economic development in many regions.
Production process
The production of live eels involves specialized aquaculture techniques. Eel farmers typically maintain controlled environments, such as eel farms or eel ponds, where they carefully manage the breeding, hatching, and growth of eel populations. This process includes regulating water temperature, oxygen levels, and feeding to optimize the health and growth of the eels.
Production inputs
The primary inputs for the eel production industry include juvenile eels (known as elvers), specialized feed formulations, and advanced aquaculture equipment and infrastructure. Elvers are often sourced from wild eel populations or from dedicated eel hatcheries. Eel farmers also require access to reliable water sources, electricity, and skilled labor to maintain their operations.
Production outputs
The primary output of HS code 030192 is live, marketable eels. These eels are typically sold to wholesalers, retailers, or directly to consumers for culinary purposes. The output of this industry may also be used as an input for other related HS codes, such as 030271 Fish; eels, live, 030279 Fish; eels, other than live, and 160420 Prepared or preserved fish; other than whole or in pieces, where eels are further processed or incorporated into various seafood products.
