Sectors

There are three principal industry sectors:[2]

The recreational sector: comprises enterprises and individuals associated for the purpose of recreation, sport or sustenance with fisheries resources from which products are derived that are not for sale.

The traditional sector: comprises enterprises and individuals associated with fisheries resources from which aboriginal people derive products in accordance with their traditions.

The commercial sector: comprises enterprises and individuals associated with wild-catch or aquaculture resources and the various transformations of those resources into products for sale. It is also referred to as the "seafood industry", although non-food items such as pearls are included among its products.

Recreational sector

Fish processing is the processing of fish delivered by commercial fisheries and fish farms. Tuna, are several Species of ocean-dwelling Fish in the family Scombridae, mostly in the genus Thunnus.

Wholesaling is the sale of Goods or Merchandise to Retailers to industrial commercial institutional or other professional Business users This is a list of Supermarkets, past and present whether under the parent corporation's name or another name

Fish processing can be subdivided into two categories: fish handling (the initial processing of raw fish) and fish products manufacturing. Aspects of fish processing occur on fishing vessels, fish processing vessels, and at fish processing plants. A fishing vessel is a Ship or Boat used to catch fish in the sea or on a lake or river A factory ship, also known as a fish processing vessel, is a large ocean-going vessel with extensive on-board facilities for processing and freezing caught fish

Another natural subdivision is into primary processing involved in the filleting and freezing of fresh fish for onward distribution to fresh fish retail and catering outlets, and the secondary processing that produces chilled, frozen and canned products for the retail and catering trades. [5]
