Statistical Classification of Economic Activities NACE Rev. 2.1

This group includes raising (farming) and breeding of all animals, except aquatic animals.

This group excludes:
- farm animal boarding and care, see 01.62
- production of hides and skins from slaughterhouses, see 10.11

This group includes activities incidental to agricultural production and activities similar to agriculture not undertaken for production purposes (in the sense of harvesting agricultural products), done on a fee or contract basis.
Also included are post-harvest crop activities, aimed at preparing agricultural products for the primary market.

This group includes 'aquaculture' (or aquafarming), i.e. the production process involving the culturing or farming (including harvesting) of aquatic organisms (fish, molluscs, crustaceans, plants, crocodiles, alligators and 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).

Culturing/farming refers to the rearing up to their juvenile and/or adult phase under captive conditions of the above organisms.
In addition, 'aquaculture' also encompasses individual, corporate or state ownership of the individual organisms throughout the rearing or culture stage, up to and including harvesting.
