Answer 1

Answer:

A fishery is the enterprise of raising or harvesting fish and other aquatic life.[1] Commercial fisheries include wild fisheries and fish farms, both in fresh water (about 10% of all catch) and the oceans (about 90%). About 500 million people worldwide are economically dependent on fisheries. 171 million tonnes of fish were produced in 2016, but overfishing is an increasing problem -- causing declines in some populations.[2] Recreational fishing is popular in many locations, particularly North America, Europe, New Zealand, and Australia.
