Deep-sea fishing

Deep-sea fishing refers to the practice of catching fish in the ocean's deeper waters, typically beyond the continental shelf, where the water is usually 200 meters deep or more. This method targets various fish species, such as tuna, swordfish, and cod, that thrive in these deeper environments. Fishermen use specialized boats and gear, including heavy lines and nets, to reach these depths. Deep-sea fishing is vital for commercial fishing industries but also raises concerns about sustainability and the impact on marine ecosystems. Regulations are often in place to manage fish populations and protect ocean biodiversity.
