Free high quality pictures
of commercial fishing,
activities, boats, and gear are available for downloading. A section on
recommended books about commercial fishing and commercial fishing vessels
is in the right column. Fishing as a profession has been around since the
first man (or woman) noticed dinner swimming nearby, or being eaten by
some other foraging beast. Who invented the first hook or net or fish spear?
We will never know, but we do know that it was a long time ago and that
it sustained our ancestors for tens of thousands of years. Only in the
last moments of our human existence have we been able to have a major effect
on the world's fishery resources, on a large scale, driving many to the
face of economic extinction. But fishery managers around the world are
getting a handle on the problem and many stocks are being rebuilt. Visit
the UN
Atlas of the Oceans to learn more.
