Norwegian term

oppdrettsnæring

Norwegian to English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general) industry
Context: Classification of various services - I think its for some kind of business catalogue. Anyway, part of the listing reads:
Oppdrettsnæring - fiskeoppdrett
Oppdrettsnæring - kylling- og hønseoppdrett
Oppdrettsnæring - pelsedyroppdrett.

I'm uncertain about what would be the generic term here for "oppdrettsnæring"? The problem with "oppdrettsnæring" has become more or less synonymous with "fiskeoppdrett", has it not?

"Livestock farming"?

As I explained in my question, the term "oppdrettsnæring" in my context is used in the generic sense of the word. In other works it is used to embrace all forms of breeding/farming, not just fish farming.
Adrian MM. (X) Nov 26, 2006:
so what's wrong with fish farming industry already in the KudoZ glossary? www.wikiwords.org/dictionary/oppdrettsnæring/998216/1937564
brigidm (asker) Nov 26, 2006:
"animal breeding (industry)"?

livestock farming / livestock industry

Oppdrett er mer enn breeding ;) Riktignok kalles en oppdretter en breeder, men oppdrett som insdustri kalles vel ellers livestock farming.

As an agronomist I would say that there is nothing in the the term livestock that a priori excludes fish or pultry.
Note from asker:
Jeg må si at, rent intuitivt er jeg mest enig med deg, Tore, selv om flere klassifiseringssystemer poengterer at begrepet ikke omfatter "poultry" , for eksempel. Jeg har til i morgen, så jeg venter å se om det kommer inn flere forslag i løpet av natta.

neutral Bjørnar Magnussen : "except such term (livestock) shall not include aquatic animals or bees" edis.ifas.ufl.edu/HS209 Maybe "animal farming/industry" would be an alternative, though.
