What 03.113 includes

• Algae: Currently, more than 400 uses are known for algae, either fresh or as processed products (agar-agar, subclass 20.290; alginates, subclass 20.290; mineral salts, subclass 08.930; etc.). Algae are used for human consumption (division 10), medicinal purposes (subclass 21.001), as animal feed (subclass 10.800), and as fertilizer in agriculture (group 01.3 and subclass 20.130), among other uses. Echinoderms: These are animals that lack a fleshy mass. They inhabit the seabed. From an economic standpoint, species that live at shallow depths are of interest, including sea urchins, sea cucumbers, and starfish. Some species of sea urchins and starfish can damage oyster and mussel farms. Sponges (Porifera): These are not used for human consumption. Used for ornamental purposes, as toiletries, or for hygiene, they lead a sedentary life, attached to the seabed. Cnidarians: These comprise numerous species found at depths greater than 200 meters, such as jellyfish and polyps. From an economic standpoint, their value and commercial importance are limited to certain geographic regions and a small number of species, such as some types of polyps known as corals.
