Fisheries refers to the enterprise of harvesting fish and other aquatic organisms from either wild populations (capture fisheries) or by raising them in confinement (culture fisheries/aquaculture). It encompasses the activities of catching, processing, and selling aquatic life for various purposes, including sustenance, commercial profit, or recreation. The sector provides food, jobs, and income for millions globally, particularly in rural areas, and includes both large-scale commercial operations and traditional, small-scale fisheries
