fishers
People catching seafood
Fishers is the plural of fisher—people who fish, or the North American forest mammals related to martens.
The animals are valued for their dark fur and are skilled predators despite the misleading name (they rarely eat fish).
Commercial fishers protested the new regulations.
Fishers have been reintroduced to forests across the Northeast. (Capitalized Fishers is a city in Indiana.)
