Subsistence Fishing

Subsistence fishing refers to the practice of catching fish primarily for personal consumption rather than for sale or commercial profit. It is often practiced by communities or families that rely on fishing as a fundamental source of food and livelihood. This type of fishing typically involves using traditional methods, such as nets or fishing lines, and is done in local waters to support the household. Subsistence fishing plays a crucial role in food security and cultural traditions, especially in rural or indigenous communities where access to other food sources may be limited.
