Fishing

NACE v2.0 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 finfish, 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 supporting the livelihoods of communities around the world.

Production process

The main production techniques used in the fishing industry involve the use of specialized vessels, fishing gear, and methods to capture aquatic organisms. This includes the use of trawlers, longlines, gillnets, and other fishing equipment to target specific species in their natural environments. Fishermen employ a range of techniques, such as baiting, netting, and harpooning, to efficiently and responsibly harvest these natural resources.

Production inputs

The fishing industry requires a variety of inputs to support its operations. These include fishing vessels, engines, and navigational equipment, as well as fishing nets, lines, and other specialized gear. Additionally, the industry relies on fuel, bait, and other consumable supplies to power and sustain its activities. The availability of healthy, diverse aquatic ecosystems is also a critical input, as it provides the natural resources that the industry depends on.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the fishing industry are the various aquatic organisms that are captured and harvested. These include a wide range of finfish, such as tuna, cod, and salmon, as well as crustaceans like shrimp and lobster, and mollusks like clams and oysters. These outputs are then processed, distributed, and consumed by a variety of other industries, including 10.2 Processing and preserving of fish, crustaceans and molluscs, 46.3 Wholesale of food, beverages and tobacco, and 56.1 Restaurants and mobile food service activities.
