  • Primary industry (Fishing): This refers to the initial stage of the fishing sector, where natural resources such as fish are harvested directly from their environment, such as oceans, rivers, or lakes, for commercial purposes.
  • Sale and distribution of fish: This involves the process of selling and distributing fish, typically caught through fishing activities, to consumers, retailers, wholesalers, or other intermediary parties in the market.
  • Satellite technology: Satellite technology involves the use of satellites orbiting the Earth to gather data, communicate, or provide services such as navigation, weather forecasting, and monitoring of environmental changes. In the context of fishing, satellite technology can be utilized for tracking fishing vessels, monitoring fishing activities, and studying oceanographic conditions.
  • Geo Tagging: Geo tagging is the process of adding geographical metadata, such as latitude and longitude coordinates, to various types of media, such as photos, videos, or text documents. In the context of fishing, geo tagging can be used to track the location of fishing activities, monitor fishing grounds, and enforce fishing regulations.
  • Seafood industry: The seafood industry encompasses all activities related to the harvesting, processing, distribution, and sale of seafood products, including fish, shellfish, and other marine organisms, for human consumption or other purposes.
  • Fishing regulations: Fishing regulations are rules, laws, or guidelines established by governments or regulatory bodies to manage and control fishing activities, protect marine resources, prevent overfishing, conserve habitats, and ensure sustainable practices in the fishing industry.
  • Fishery economics: Fishery economics is the study of economic principles, theories, and practices as they relate to the fishing industry. It involves analyzing factors such as supply and demand, market dynamics, production costs, pricing mechanisms, government policies, and the socio-economic impacts of fishing activities.
  • Aquaculture: Aquaculture, also known as aquafarming, is the practice of cultivating and farming aquatic organisms, such as fish, shellfish, algae, and aquatic plants, in controlled environments such as ponds, tanks, or ocean enclosures. Aquaculture is undertaken for commercial purposes, including food production, restocking of natural habitats, and conservation efforts.
