Professional fishing involves the commercial harvesting of fish and seafood primarily for sale and distribution. It employs specialized techniques, equipment, and vessels to efficiently catch large quantities of target species while managing resources sustainably. Professionals often work in large-scale operations, adhering to regulatory standards to ensure environmental protection. This industry supports global food supply chains, provides employment, and involves practices such as aquaculture, fishing quotas, and sustainable management to balance economic needs with ecological conservation.
