Description

This refers to industrial activities involving the salting, drying, smoking, pickling, canning, freezing, and other processing of fish, crustaceans, mollusks, and other aquatic animals. Industrial activities involving the complete removal of the head, entrails, fins, tails, and spines of fish, or the shelling of mollusks and crustaceans to prepare them for direct human consumption, are also considered manufacturing activities and are classified here. Activities involving the processing of seafood during the sales process by businesses primarily engaged in retail activities are excluded here, as they are considered incidental to sales activities. Freezing and packaging activities combined with the manufacturing process of processed aquatic animal products are considered auxiliary activities incidental to the production of such products.
