commercial fishing
Industrial seafood extraction
Commercial fishing is the large-scale harvesting of fish and other seafood for sale rather than personal consumption.
It encompasses ocean trawling, crabbing, shrimping, and other operations that supply restaurants, markets, and processing plants: The town's economy depends on commercial fishing.
Regulations typically distinguish commercial fishing from recreational fishing through licensing and catch limits.
