TYPES OF FISHING AND TECHNIQUES

Depending on the level of development, fishing can be:

*Artisanal fishing: uses small boats and ships, traditional techniques and little labour. Production is small and is intended for the local market.

* Industrial fishing: uses large factory ships with modern technology and a great deal of labour. Production is abundant, intended for sale on the domestic or international market.

Depending on the distance from the coast:

*Costal fishing: When fishermen go out and return each day.

*Offshore fishing: when ships tipically remain out at sea for days.

*Deep sea or high-sea fishing: far from the coast, expeditions last week or even months.

The areas of the sea in which fish are abundant are called fishing grounds or banks.
