NAICS 114 - Fishing, Hunting and Trapping
Industries in the Fishing, Hunting, and Trapping subsector harvest fish and other wild animals from their natural habitats and are dependent upon a continued supply of the natural resource. The harvesting of fish is the predominant economic activity of this subsector and it usually requires specialized vessels that, by the nature of their size, configuration and equipment, are not suitable for any other type of production, such as transportation.
Hunting and trapping activities utilize a wide variety of production processes and are classified in the same subsector as fishing because the availability of resources and the constraints imposed, such as conservation requirements and proper habitat maintenance, are similar.
Industry trends:
The Fishing, Hunting, and Trapping industry (NAICS 114) is witnessing several key qualitative trends shaped by evolving consumer preferences, technological advancements, and regulatory changes. Sustainability and environmental conservation are at the forefront, with an increased emphasis on sustainable fishing practices to protect marine ecosystems. This trend is likely to continue as public awareness and regulatory measures around climate change and biodiversity intensify. Additionally, there's a rise in demand for eco-tourism experiences, where consumers seek authentic, nature-based activities that emphasize conservation and ethical treatment of wildlife.
Technological integration is another notable trend. The use of advanced tracking and monitoring systems is becoming more prevalent in fisheries management, aimed at enhancing efficiency and sustainability. Innovations such as satellite tagging, drones, and AI are being deployed to monitor fish populations and habitat conditions, promising more precise and responsible harvesting practices.
Looking ahead, the industry is expected to see a shift towards more stringent regulations and stewardship programs. Increased collaboration between governmental agencies, non-profits, and industry stakeholders will likely emerge, focusing on sustainable resource utilization and habitat restoration. The market is also expected to grow in niche areas such as aquaculture, given its lower environmental impact compared to wild capture fisheries and its role in meeting rising protein demand globally.
