Marine fishing

NACE v2.0 Code: A03.11

About marine fishing

NACE code 03.11 covers the industry of marine fishing, a vital component of the global food supply chain. This industry encompasses the capture of various aquatic organisms, including fish, crustaceans, and mollusks, from oceans, coastal areas, and inland waters for commercial purposes. Marine fishing plays a crucial role in providing a sustainable source of protein and supporting the livelihoods of coastal communities worldwide.

Production process

The primary production techniques used in the marine fishing industry involve the use of various fishing vessels, equipment, and methods. Fishermen utilize a range of fishing gear, such as nets, lines, and traps, to capture their target species. The specific techniques employed often depend on the type of fish being sought, the local environmental conditions, and the regulations governing the fishing area.

Production inputs

The marine fishing industry requires a range of inputs to support its operations. These include fishing vessels, which can range from small artisanal boats to large commercial trawlers, as well as specialized equipment like nets, lines, and navigational systems. Fuel, bait, and ice are also essential inputs for the industry. Additionally, the industry relies on access to healthy marine ecosystems and the availability of target species, which are influenced by factors such as water quality, climate, and environmental regulations.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the marine fishing industry are the captured aquatic organisms, which are then processed, distributed, and consumed by various other industries. These outputs can include a wide variety of fish, crustaceans, and mollusks, such as tuna, cod, shrimp, and oysters. The outputs of the marine fishing industry are often used as inputs for 10.20 Processing and preserving of fish, crustaceans and mollusks, 46.38 Wholesale of other food, including fish, crustaceans and mollusks, and 47.23 Retail sale of fish, crustaceans and mollusks in specialized stores.
