Fish Harvesting Technique

This document describes various fishing techniques and their economic and environmental impacts. Beam trawls and demersal otter trawls are used to catch fish and other sea creatures from the seabed in a more targeted way compared to dredging, which removes entire populations. Fish farming provides a steady economic input but can impact the environment if not properly regulated. Methods like drift nets, gill nets, and long-lining catch large amounts of fish but have led to bans or threats to other species. More selective techniques like hand-gathering, pole and line fishing, and jigging have fewer environmental effects.

Environmental Benefits

Beam Trawl

Used for Seabed

fishes and more fishes
are more money

Electrified ticklers are


less
damaging
to the seabed

Demersal Otter
Trawl

Catch Seabed, Cod,

Different
species of fishes caught
sometimes bring
more money

The separator trawls


separate
fishes by their species

Dive Caught

In reefs, getting
lobsters, dwelling
fishes
Catch Seabed,
oysters,

Since small fishes,


no economic
benefit
Large populations of
fishes are removed

Harm to closer
environment

Hydraulic Dredges

Catch Seabed,
Bivalves and
Cackles

Multiple fishes are


caught then thrown away

Drift Net

Catch Tuna, Squid,


Shark

Fish Farming

In closed
environments in the
Atlantic.
Beneath the surface
for fish towards the
lower bed
Meant to capture
any fish

Catch large
amounts which led
to bans
Circulation of
economic input
from fish to fish
Waiting game for
fish to fall in

Dredging

Gill or Fixed Nets

Tangle Nets

Handline

Coastline Fishing

Jigging

Happens at night
and mainly for
squid

Trolling

Catching pelagic
species of fish

Hand-Gathering or
Collection

Fish at high tide and


low tide

Less fish when


playing with chance
means less money
High quality fishes
lead to more money
Cant see whats
being caught so if
not squid, its
thrown
Small amounts of
fish lead to small
income
Money earned
through what you

Other species that live in


one community will be
harmed all together
Bivalve molluscs are
being teethed from their
habitats
Large amounts of fishes from
species are taken

Wasting huge
amount of fish only
for other fishes.
Nets are still not
affecting the
environment.
Doesnt affect
environment
Only affects fishes
Only catching squid
in mid water

Baited hooks float


beneath water
surface
No environment
factor

pick
Harpoon

Fishing for
swordfish and
bluefish tuna
Catches pelagic
fishes

If no catch, no
income, much
harder
Efficient for using
less money for fuel

environment

Pats
