Aquaculture
What this code covers
Use this group for aquaculture when the main activity includes Culturing/farming refers to the rearing up to their juvenile and/or adult phase under captive conditions of the above organisms. and Breeding/farming of fry and adults under artificial conditions. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Official NACE Rev. 2.1 labels and explanatory notes are imported from the source dataset. Plain-language explanations are shown separately so readers can compare interpretation with the source text.
- This group includes aquaculture (or aquafarming), in other words, the production process involving the culturing or farming (including harvesting) of aquatic organisms (for example, fish, molluscs, crustaceans, plants, 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). Aquaculture also encompasses individual, corporate or state ownership of the individual organisms throughout the rearing or culture stage, up to and including harvesting.
- Culturing/farming refers to the rearing up to their juvenile and/or adult phase under captive conditions of the above organisms.
- breeding/farming of fry and adults under artificial conditions
- production of bird skins from ranching operations or skins from farming reptiles (e.g. snakes and turtles), see 01.48
- breeding and raising of reptiles, see 01.48
- Compare with 01.48, 03.1, 03.3 when the main activity overlaps another code.
- Check national equivalent caveats before using this code for local registration or filing workflows.
- If the main revenue activity appears in an exclusion, compare the alternative code before deciding.

What is NACE 03.2 used for?
Use NACE 03.2 for aquaculture when the main activity matches this scope: Use this group for aquaculture when the main activity includes Culturing/farming refers to the rearing up to their juvenile and/or adult phase under captive conditions of the above organisms. and Breeding/farming of fry and adults under artificial conditions. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
What are typical examples for 03.2?
Typical examples include Culturing/farming refers to the rearing up to their juvenile and/or adult phase under captive conditions of the above organisms. and Breeding/farming of fry and adults under artificial conditions.
When might 03.2 not be the right code?
Review another code when the activity is closer to production of bird skins from ranching operations or skins from farming reptiles (e.g. snakes and turtles), see 01.48 and breeding and raising of reptiles, see 01.48.
Which codes should I compare before choosing 03.2?
Compare 03.2 with 01.48 Raising of other animals, 03.1 Fishing, and 03.3 Support activities for fishing and aquaculture when the activity description is ambiguous.
Use this class for raising of other animals when the main activity includes Raising and breeding of semi-domesticated or other live animals and Birds (except poultry and ostriches). Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this group for fishing when the main activity includes Marine fishing and Freshwater fishing. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this group for the broader activity area of support activities for fishing and aquaculture, including Support activities for fishing and aquaculture. Open the child codes when a more specific code is needed.
Use this class for marine aquaculture when the main activity includes Fish farming in sea water, including farming of marine ornamental fish and Production of bivalve spat (e.g. oyster mussel, etc.), lobsterlings, shrimp post-larvae, fish fry and fingerlings. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this class for freshwater aquaculture when the main activity includes Fish farming in freshwater, including farming of freshwater ornamental fish and Culture of freshwater crustaceans, bivalves, other molluscs and other aquatic animals. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this division for fishing and aquaculture when the main activity includes The division also includes service activities incidental to marine or freshwater fishery or aquaculture.. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Rev. 2 code 03.2 can map to more than one Rev. 2.1 class: 01.4 Animal production, 03.2 Aquaculture, 03.3 Support activities for fishing and aquaculture.

Datasets, CRM segments, KYC rules, reporting logic, and historical joins may need review because the activity scope is not a simple unchanged carry-over.
Review the official explanatory notes for each target code and confirm whether the business activity still fits the suggested Rev. 2.1 class.
