What 03.1 includes

• The main resources exploited by this activity are: • Fish • Mollusks and crustaceans • Algae
• The main areas for the exploitation of these resources, both in terms of intensity and yield, are located in the continental shelf regions and on the seabed.
• Fish (subclasses 03.111, 03.112, 03.120, and 03.200): there is a significant number of species, both freshwater and saltwater, which constitute the most important resource for the sector. Among the freshwater species, which in our country represent less than 10% of the catch volume, are the sábalo, the pejerrey, the surubí, the boga, and the trout. Based on the general type of environment they frequent and the morphological and ethological characteristics they possess in accordance with that environment, it is possible to differentiate the following ecological groups of marine fish: A) Littoral or coastal fish: • seahorse • channel stingray • cacique fish B) Neritic swimming fish: • croaker • whiting • bream • grouper • sea salmon C) Demersal fish: • common hake • pata • southern hake • black hake • pollock • roosterfish • pollock • grenadier fish D) Benthic fish: • rays • soles • conger eels • toadfish E) Pelagic fish: • anchovy • mackerel • bonito • tuna F) Bathypelagic fish: • lanternfish G) Amphibious fish: • anchovy • mullet • moray eel
• Mollusks (subclasses 03.111, 03.112, 03.120, and 03.200): comprise approximately 125,000 species, more than half of which are found in marine or brackish waters. They are divided into: gastropods (snails), cephalopods (squid and octopus), and pelecypeds (oysters, clams, scallops, mussels, etc.).
• Crustaceans (subclasses 03.111, 03.112, 03.120, and 03.200): comprise approximately 20,000 species, the most important of which are: prawns, shrimp, lobsters, crabs, spider crabs, European lobsters, and krill.
• Processing of fishery resources: Processing activities include those processes aimed at the preservation and/or transformation of the aforementioned fish and fishery resources. Depending on whether they take place on water or land, they are classified under class 03.11, 03.12, or subclass 10.200, except for factory ships, which do not catch fish: they only process them and are therefore considered floating factories, and their production is included within the manufacturing industry (subclass 10.200).
• Fish products are highly perishable and require different processing methods, resulting in: Heading and gutting (usually designated by the acronym H&G), Filleting, Freezing, Canning, Salting, Fishmeal production, Fish oil production, And Fish paste (surimi) production.
