The directory of trade names for fishery and aquaculture products lists all trade names permitted in Germany. There is a separate list for trade names that have not yet been definitively included in this list.

If you wish to apply for a new trade name, please note the following:

• You should only apply for a trade name for one species at a time (species-specific such as "Clupea harengus").
• If a trade name already applies to another species or genus, this name can generally no longer be assigned.
• You do not need a trade description for fish, crustaceans and molluscs that have been prepared or preserved and are imported under CN code 1604 or 1605.

Further information on the assignment of trade names can be found on the website of the Federal Office for Agriculture and Food (BLE).
If you would like an additional designation for an existing trade name, please apply for a new trade name.

All lists can be viewed and downloaded from the BLE website.
