Analysis
NAICS 112519 is the 2022 national industry for other aquaculture, part of 11251 (Aquaculture). Census lists 8 example activities under it in the official index.
Its index entries, the activities Census uses to assign businesses to this code, include algae farming, alligator production, farm raising, animal aquaculture (except finfish, shellfish) and frog production, farm raising, among 8 in all.
Census lists 4 related activities that belong elsewhere, most often in 114119, 112511, 112512 and 111419. Businesses that do several things are classified by their primary activity, the one that generates the most value, so check those boundaries before settling on this code.
For example, miscellaneous fishing activities, such as catching or taking of terrapins, turtles, and frogs from their natural habitat are classified in 114119 (Other Marine Fishing) instead.
County Business Patterns does not cover crop and animal production, so there is no establishment count for it; farms are counted by the Census of Agriculture instead.
