What 03.1 includes

• This group includes capture fisheries, in other words, the activities of capturing and collecting organisms living in the wild in aquatic environments (primarily fish, shellfish, and crustaceans), as well as plants growing in oceanic, coastal, or inland waters, for human consumption or other purposes, either manually or, more commonly, using various types of fishing gear (e.g., nets, lines, fixed traps). These activities can be carried out in intertidal zones (e.g., harvesting molluscs such as mussels or oysters), in coastal waters, or on the high seas. These activities also include fishing in stocked environments.
