Industry: Fishing

Establishments in the NAICS 1141 Fishing industry are primarily engaged in the commercial catching or taking of finfish, shellfish, or other marine life from their natural habitats. The industry produces goods such as fresh or frozen fish and seafood, which are typically sold to wholesalers, retailers, or directly to consumers. This industry is distinguished from aquaculture (NAICS 1125) by its focus on harvesting wild marine resources rather than cultivating aquatic organisms in controlled environments.
