4.
What's deep - sea fishing?
It's the kind of fishing done very far away from the coastline. It's done with heavy boats equipped with modern devices that make fishing a bit easier. Most of these boats have enough instruments to process entirely the fish captured. They're also prepared to sail during weeks or even months
5.
Where's the fishing done?
By law the fishing done as a business is forbidden from the coasts of a State to 370 km far into the sea.
The best places to fish are the places that are 200 m deep. Here is where rivers pour their nutrients, and where plankton live, so fish can feed.
6.
Are fish farms a solution to over - fishing?
Yes, due to the fact that the 36% of the fish sold worldwide comes from fish farms.
This means that it's a 36% less of fish fished in the sea.

What happens if we don't fish carefully?
We could make many species disappear or even cause damage to seafloors.
This is because some fishers use too big fishing nets or even use explosives to fish.

Where is the fishing more important as an economical factor?
In the poorest countries because it's a raw material that moves easily through local markets. And this usually give fluidity to an economy.
