Question

eassy 80 word answer tittle fishing

Answer 1

Explanation:

The term fishing embraces all aspects of man’s pur­suit of the aquatic animals in the seas and in inland waters all over the world. A very wide variety of methods is employed. Men were hunters and fishermen before they became cultivators, and fishing is therefore one of the oldest occupations of mankind.

Increasing human numbers will make the efficient harvesting of food from the sea more and more important. Fish are a vital source of food, especially in countries like Norway, Iceland and Japan where the land is bleak or mountainous and agriculture cannot be easily de­veloped; and fish are also caught and processed to produce lubricants, fertilizers or cosmetics.

Moreover, modern fisheries are not confined to catching fish, but include many other sea harvests such as whales, seals, pearls, crustaceans (i.e., lobsters, crabs, prawns, shrimps), molluscs (i.e. oysters, mussels, cockles, clams), sponges and seaweeds.

However it must not be assumed that fish and other marine animals are an inexhaustible resource. Indeed, there are vast areas of the oceans which have very few fish. Many factors affect the productivity of the seas; the depth of the water, the ocean currents, the temperature and salinity determine the amount of plankton or fish-food present. In a way fishing is like mining; it is a robber industry. If men catch fish at a rate faster than nature can replace them, there will eventually be very few left.

Mark as brainliest and follow me....Hioe this helps

Explanation:

Fishing is the activity of trying to catch fish. Fish are normally caught in the wild. Techniques for catching fish include hand gathering, spearing, netting, angling and trapping. “Fishing” may include catching aquatic animals other than fish, such as molluscs, cephalopods, crustaceans, and echinoderms. The term is not normally applied to catching farmed fish, or to aquatic mammals, such as whales where the term whaling is more appropriate. In addition to being caught to be eaten, fish are caught as recreational pastimes. Fishing tournaments are held, and caught fish are sometimes kept as preserved or living trophies. When bioblitzes occur, fish are typically caught, identified, and then released.

According to the United Nations FAO statistics, the total number of commercial fishermen and fish farmers is estimated to be 38 million. Fisheries and aquaculture provide direct and indirect employment to over 500 million people in developing countries.[1] In 2005, the worldwide per capita consumption of fish captured from wild fisheries was 14.4 kilograms, with an additional 7.4 kilograms harvested from fish farms.[2]
