Fishing
Fishing includes fuels used for inland, coastal and deep-sea fishing. Fishing covers fuels delivered to ships of all flags that have refuelled in the country (including international fishing) as well as energy used in the fishing industry [ISIC Division 03].
Prior to the 2007 edition, fishing was included with agriculture/forestry and this may continue to be the case for some countries.
