fishing fleet
Boats catching seafood
A fishing fleet is a group of fishing vessels operating together, typically from the same port or under common ownership.
The term applies at various scales—from a company's boats to an entire nation's commercial fishing capacity: The local fishing fleet was devastated by the hurricane.
Fleet suggests coordinated activity or shared purpose rather than boats that happen to fish the same waters.
