Aquatic invertebrates; jellyfish, prepared or preserved

HS v2022 Code: 160563

About aquatic invertebrates; jellyfish, prepared or preserved

HS code 160563 covers the preparation and preservation of aquatic invertebrates, specifically jellyfish. This industry plays a vital role in the global food supply chain, providing a unique and nutritious seafood product that is highly valued in many Asian cuisines. As consumer demand for diverse and sustainable protein sources continues to grow, the jellyfish processing industry has become an increasingly important component of the broader aquaculture and seafood processing sectors.

Production process

The production of preserved jellyfish typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw jellyfish are harvested from the ocean or aquaculture facilities. They are then cleaned, trimmed, and treated with a brine solution to remove excess moisture and preserve their texture. The jellyfish may also be blanched or boiled briefly to further enhance their shelf life. Finally, the prepared jellyfish are packaged, often in brine or other preservative solutions, to be distributed and consumed.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the jellyfish processing industry include the raw jellyfish themselves, which are typically sourced from 030799 Other aquatic invertebrates, live, fresh, chilled, frozen, dried, salted or in brine operations. Additional inputs include brine, packaging materials, and processing equipment such as cutting, cleaning, and packaging machinery. The industry also relies on a skilled workforce to handle the delicate nature of jellyfish and ensure consistent product quality.

Production outputs

The main output of the jellyfish processing industry is 160563 Aquatic invertebrates; jellyfish, prepared or preserved, which is then distributed and consumed as a specialty seafood product. The preserved jellyfish may be used in a variety of Asian dishes, such as salads, soups, and stir-fries. The industry's outputs may also be consumed by 160590 Preparations of other aquatic invertebrates producers, who incorporate preserved jellyfish into their own products.
