salmon fisheries
Pink fish industry
Salmon fisheries are operations that catch or raise salmon commercially.
The term covers both wild-capture fishing—where boats harvest salmon from oceans and rivers—and aquaculture facilities that farm salmon in controlled environments.
The collapse of Pacific salmon fisheries devastated coastal communities.
Fisheries management involves regulating catch limits, protecting spawning grounds, and balancing commercial interests against conservation.
