Commercial fishing grounds
Fisheries is the plural of fishery—an industry or location devoted to catching, cultivating, or processing fish and other aquatic life.
A fishery may be a stretch of water where fish are caught commercially, or the enterprise itself: The collapse of North Atlantic fisheries devastated coastal communities.
Fisheries often appears in institutional contexts: fisheries management, fisheries regulations, the Department of Fisheries.
