Oceanic Fishing

Oceanic fishing involves catching fish and other marine life in the open, deep parts of the ocean beyond coastal areas. It includes large-scale commercial methods like using massive ships, trawlers, and large nets to harvest species such as tuna, mackerel, and swordfish. This type of fishing is vital for global seafood supply but requires careful management to prevent overfishing and protect ocean ecosystems. Techniques include longlining, trolling, and purse seining, and often involve international cooperation due to the vast, shared nature of ocean waters.
