Production
Lesson 1: Fishing Boats
Fish
Fishing
It is the process of catching fish; it had existed even before the rise of man.
Different types of animals can fish; many birds have beaks or talons made for fishing.
Osprey
Kingfisher
Puffin
•
Early human settlements/civilization were close to lakes or rivers because of their abundance in resources.
•
Primitive fishing gear were made of materials such as wood, bone, or metal.
During the latter part of the nineteenth century, the use of much larger gear emerged with the development of power boats.
Steamboat
Eventually, these fishing vessels became floating factories that are able to catch fish in any ocean of the world and process, package, preserve, and transport the catch.
Kinds of Fishing Vessels
Main types:
◦ Trawlers – uses trawl nets
Trawler
o
Seiners – uses seine nets
Seiner
Other Types
Pacific Troller – the most common kind
Atlantic Trawler – operating in the Atlantic Ocean, this vessel is made of steel or wood and ranges from about 40 to 140 feet in length
Tuna Clipper – a complex fishing vessel capable of operating thousands of miles from home port, ranges from about 80 to 170 feet in length Pacific Combination Vessel – a seiner type vessel, catches halibut, salmon, and shrimp
Tuna Seiners – large specialized ships for catching tuna, it has large seine nets and fishing equipment
Other types:
Pacific Troller
Atlantic Trawler
Tuna Clipper
Tuna Seiner
Major Fisheries
Fisheries refer to places where fish can be found and caught. The range of these fisheries is immense, with over 4,000 aquatic species that may be harvested worldwide.
Shrimp – considered the most important species group in world fisheries trade; has very high commercial value Small, Pelagic (Open Ocean) Fish - consist the largest fisheries group (sardine, herring, anchovy, etc.); has relatively low commercial
