fishing industries

Seafood harvesting businesses

Fishing industries encompass the commercial enterprises involved in catching, processing, and selling fish and seafood.

The term covers everything from small-scale coastal operations to industrial trawler fleets, and includes fish farming (aquaculture), processing plants, and distribution networks.

The fishing industries of the Pacific Northwest have declined with salmon stocks.
