Fishing

NACE v2.1 Code: A03.1

About fishing

NACE code 03.1 covers the fishing industry, a vital component of the global food supply chain. This sector encompasses the capture of various aquatic organisms, including fish, crustaceans, and mollusks, from their natural habitats in oceans, rivers, and lakes. The fishing industry plays a crucial role in providing a sustainable source of protein and other essential nutrients, contributing to food security and economic development worldwide.

Production process

The primary production techniques used in the fishing industry involve the use of specialized vessels, fishing gear, and methods to capture aquatic organisms. These may include trawling, longlining, gillnetting, and other techniques tailored to the target species and local environmental conditions. Fishermen utilize a range of tools, such as nets, hooks, and traps, to harvest their catch, often employing traditional knowledge and modern technologies to improve efficiency and sustainability.

Production inputs

The fishing industry requires a variety of inputs to operate effectively. These include fishing vessels, engines, and navigational equipment, as well as fishing gear such as nets, lines, and traps. Additionally, the industry relies on fuel, ice, and other supplies to maintain operations. Skilled labor, including captains, crew members, and processing workers, is another essential input for the fishing industry.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the fishing industry are the captured aquatic organisms, which are then processed, distributed, and consumed. These outputs can be sold fresh, frozen, or canned, and may be used as food for human consumption or as inputs for other industries, such as 10.2 Processing and preserving of fish, crustaceans and molluscs and 46.38 Wholesale of other food, including fish, crustaceans and molluscs.
