Analysis
NAICS 114119 is the 2022 national industry for other marine fishing, part of 11411 (Fishing). Census lists 5 example activities under it in the official index.
Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments grew 25% and employment rose 2%. The 2018 count used NAICS 2017, so part of a large move can come from codes being redefined rather than from businesses opening or closing.
County Business Patterns counts 127 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 238 people at an average annual payroll of $125,214 per employee (92nd percentile of national industries). 95% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which marks it as a small-business industry.
By establishments it ranks 3rd of the 3 codes at this level within Fishing, with 5.1% of them.
Its index entries, the activities Census uses to assign businesses to this code, include frog fishing, seaweed gathering, sponge gathering and terrapin fishing, among 5 in all.
Its goods appear in 8 statistical lines of the US tariff schedule, mostly under headings 0410 (insects and other edible products of animal origin, not…), 1212 (locust beans, seaweeds and other algae, sugar beet and…) and 0508 (). That link is how import data is matched to domestic producers, for example in trade-remedy cases.
