Codes in this division

This group includes capture fishery, in other words, the harvesting, collecting and gathering activities directed at removing or collecting live wild aquatic organisms (predominantly fish, molluscs and crustaceans), including plants from the oceanic, coastal or inland waters for human consumption and other purposes by hand or more usually by various types of fishing gear (for example, nets, lines, stationary traps). Such activities can be conducted on the intertidal zones (for example, the collection of molluscs, such as mussels, oysters), coastal waters or offshore waters. These activities also include fishing in restocked water bodies.

This class includes: - fishing on a commercial basis in ocean and coastal waters - taking of marine crustaceans and molluscs - whaling - taking of marine aquatic animals (e.g. turtles, sea squirts, tunicates, sea urchins) · This class also includes: - gathering of other marine organisms and materials (e.g. natural pearls, sponges, coral, seaweed, algae) · This class excludes: - capturing of marine mammals apart from whales (e.g. seals, walruses), see 01.70 - processing of whales on factory ships, see 10.11 - processing of fish, crustaceans and molluscs on factory ships or in factories ashore, see 10.20 - rental of pleasure boats with crew for sea and coastal water transport (e.g. for fishing trips), see 50.10 - fishing inspection, protection and patrol services, see 84.24 - fishing practiced for sport or recreation and related services, see 93.19 - operation of sport fishing preserves, see 93.19

This class includes: - fishing on a commercial basis in inland waters - taking of freshwater crustaceans and molluscs - taking of freshwater aquatic animals · This class also includes: - gathering of freshwater materials - gathering of other freshwater organisms: seaweed and algae · This class excludes: - catching of frogs or collection of snails in the wild, see 01.70 - collecting wild plants (e.g. reeds, sedges), see 02.30 - processing of fish, crustaceans and molluscs on factory ships or in factories ashore, see 10.20 - fishing inspection, protection and patrol services, see 84.24 - fishing practiced for sport or recreation and related services, see 93.19 - operation of sport fishing preserves, see 93.19

This group includes aquaculture (or aquafarming), in other words, the production process involving the culturing or farming (including harvesting) of aquatic organisms (for example, fish, molluscs, crustaceans, plants, amphibians) using techniques designed to increase the production of the organisms in question beyond the natural capacity of the environment (for example, regular stocking, feeding and protection from predators). Aquaculture also encompasses individual, corporate or state ownership of the individual organisms throughout the rearing or culture stage, up to and including harvesting. · Culturing/farming refers to the rearing up to their juvenile and/or adult phase under captive conditions of the above organisms. · This group also includes: - breeding/farming of fry and adults under artificial conditions · This group excludes: - production of bird skins from ranching operations or skins from farming reptiles (e.g. snakes and turtles), see 01.48 - breeding and raising of reptiles, see 01.48

This class includes: - fish farming in sea water, including farming of marine ornamental fish - production of bivalve spat (e.g. oyster mussel, etc.), lobsterlings, shrimp post-larvae, fish fry and fingerlings - growing of seaweed and algae - culture of crustaceans, bivalves, other molluscs and other aquatic animals in sea water · This class also includes: - aquaculture activities in brackish waters - land-based aquaculture activities in salt water filled tanks and reservoirs - operation of marine fish hatcheries and marine worm farms - marine microalgae cultivation · This class excludes: - frog farming, see 03.22 - operation of sport fishing preserves, see 93.19

This class includes: - fish farming in freshwater, including farming of freshwater ornamental fish - culture of freshwater crustaceans, bivalves, other molluscs and other aquatic animals - operation of fish hatcheries (freshwater) - farming of frogs - growing of seaweed and algae (edible or not) · This class also includes: - freshwater microalgae cultivation · This class excludes: - aquaculture activities in salt water filled tanks and reservoirs, see 03.21 - operation of sport fishing preserves, see 93.19

This class includes: - service activities incidental to marine or freshwater fishery or aquaculture, e.g.: • diving services for aquaculture • remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROV) services for aquaculture • repair and maintenance services for fish cages • other support activities on fishing and aquaculture n.e.c. · This class also includes: - fishery (fishery guard) and aquaculture control · This class excludes: - fishing and aquaculture activities, see 03.1, 03.2 - processing of fish and aquaculture products on factory ships or in factories ashore, see 10.20 - processing of fish, crustaceans and molluscs, see 10.20 - activities related to the servicing of equipment and/or vessels, see division 33 - distribution of fisheries and aquaculture products, see divisions 46, 47, 52 - fishing practiced for sport or recreation and related services, see 93.19 - operation of sport fishing preserves, see 93.19
