Fish Laws

Welcome to FishLaws.com! FishLaws.com is a highly categorized in-depth informational resource for all terms related to Fish Laws and Fishing. About us.


Fishing is the activity of trying to catch fish. Fish are normally caught in the wild. Techniques for catching fish include hand gathering, spearing, netting, angling and trapping.

The term fishing may be applied to catching other aquatic animals such as molluscs, cephalopods, crustaceans, and echinoderms. The term is not normally applied to catching aquatic mammals, such as whales, where the term whaling is more appropriate, or to farmed fish.

According to FAO statistics, the total number of commercial fishermen and fish farmers is estimated to be 38 million. Fisheries and aquaculture provide direct and indirect employment to over 500 million people. In 2005, the worldwide per capita consumption of fish captured from wild fisheries was 14.4 kilograms, with an additional 7.4 kilograms harvested from fish farms. In addition to providing food, modern fishing is also a recreational pastime.

Asked by - Thu Jan 28 23:51:14 2010 - Fish - 5 Answers - Comments

A. There should be laws in place for the protection of ALL animals. If animal welfare is a subject that interests you, Temple Grandin's book "Animals Make Us Human: Creating the Best Life for Animals" delves into how we can better care for our pets. It really changed the way I look at dogs, cats, and even gerbils. - Human beings can't relate to fish, and unfortunately they are produced in mass quantities and cheap. A bad combination for compassion.
