Fishing is the activity of hunting for fish by hooking,
trapping, or gathering. By extension, the term fishing
is applied to pursuing other aquatic animals such
as various types of shellfish, squid, octopus, turtles,
frogs, and some edible marine invertebrates. The
term fishing is not usually applied to pursuing
aquatic mammals such as whales, where the term "whaling"
is more appropriate, or to commercial fish farming.
Fishing is an ancient and worldwide practice with
various techniques and traditions and it has been
transformed by modern technological developments.
In addition to providing food through harvesting
fish, modern fishing is both a recreational and
professional sport. According to FAO statistics,
the total number of fishermen and fish-farmers is
estimated to be 38 million. Fisheries provide direct
and indirect employment to an estimated 200 million
people worldwide... |
