Many people consider fishing as their favorite pastime but only few of them ever think about fish as an ocean resource. Lots of people fish for a living. Fishery is the name of the business of harvesting fish and other marine animals and plants in order to make a living. Fisheries include large industrial-scale operations with foreign fishermen who process their catch for export and commercial sales, small-scale operations by local fishermen who primarily supply nearby markets, aquaculture farms which raise marine animals and fish in a maintained environment, and businesses that produce fish products.
Fish and other seafood are harvested from the oceans around the globe. In fact, millions of tons of fish are harvested on an annual basis. Seventy percent of that fish is for human consumption. Fish is also used in the production of pet and other animal food, oil, and other industrial products. Fisheries support the livelihoods of almost 200 million people worldwide.
Shrimp and tuna are probably the most recognized products from fisheries, and it also includes lobsters, crabs, scallops, oysters, seaweed, cod, salmon, flounder, swofish, shark, herring, numerous reef fish, among many other species.
More than 90% of world marine fish catch comes from the 10% of the oceans closest to land. With all the fishing that goes on and all the people that fish, our ocean resources are being used rapidly.
