Minimal Impact Fishing

Fisheries practice vary depending on the fish stock, the regulations in place, and the market. Simply, fisheries practices are split into fishing and farming. The difference between the two is that fishing harvests from wild fish stocks and farming harvests fish from controlled stocks. Both methods have a multitude of techniques. For example, commercial fishing is commonly done with longlines, gill nets, and trawls, and commercial farming is often done with net pens and ponds. Fishing and farming practices all have their advantages and disadvantages, which classically have been assessed by their environmental impacts.
