About this level
Practical summary
Class 0311 sits in the PSIC 2019 hierarchy under A Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing > 03 Fishing and Aquaculture > 031 Fishing. This class usually fans out into more specific subclasses such as Ocean Fishing, Commercial (using Vessels Over 3 Tons), Coastal Fishing, Municipal (using Vessels of Less than 3 Tons), and Fish Corral Fishing. It is the level people use when they already know the activity family but still need the exact five-digit match.
Administrative context
Where this code is used
This class is used when a business can already narrow the activity family and only needs to compare the final subclasses such as Ocean Fishing, Commercial (using Vessels Over 3 Tons), Coastal Fishing, Municipal (using Vessels of Less than 3 Tons), and Fish Corral Fishing. It is the level most often checked before a five-digit decision is finalized.
Selection note
How to choose it
Use this class to choose between its final subclasses such as Ocean Fishing, Commercial (using Vessels Over 3 Tons), Coastal Fishing, Municipal (using Vessels of Less than 3 Tons), and Fish Corral Fishing. If two options look close, compare the exact activity, the outputs and the way the business actually earns revenue.
