Fishing techniques and methods

The Sports of Fishing Fishing, or angling, is the sport of trying to catch fish with a rod, reel, line and baited hooks. The sport goes back thousands of years, and it appears that fishing techniques were already quite advanced at a very early date. In the Stone Age, hooks made of both bone and stone were used to catch fish, but spearing, a more primitive method, was probably just as common. An engraving from an ancient Egyptian tomb shows that all four methods of fishing-that is, with spears

oceans worldwide. Overfishing affects more than just sushi enthusiasts, as it poses a threat of extinction to many species of tuna and sharks. Whereas traditional fishing techniques remove a sustainable number of matured fish from the ecosystem, overfishing- the two most common techniques of which are purse seine netting and longline fishing, both used to maximize the number of fish

Proponents of derelict fishing gear mitigation provide ample evidence and examples in support of their argument, which I find convincing and well-supported. Substantial removal of derelict fishing equipment from local waters can be accomplished when the expense and effort is shared among government agencies and organizations (Donohue, 2002). Although some information is missing regarding how responsibility is distributed between the groups involved (i.e. does a large government agency take on more

If fishing continues at the same rate, using todays destructive practices, the oceans could become fishless by 2048 (Branch, 2013). Understanding and analyzing the causes and impacts of overexploitation in oceans, can offer insight into possible solutions to remediate current and future effected environments. Today, (see Figure 1) 53% of the worlds fisheries are fully exploited and 32% are overexploited, depleted, or recovering from depletion (FAO, 2010). The overexploitation of the oceans

population depends on fishing as their source of livelihood. This implies that the overpopulation causes an economic crisis to both the people who rely on fishing occupation; as well as several people who rely on fish diets. For many centuries, the oceans have been a reliable source of fish diets that

Fly fishing is an ancient sport, with records of Romans in 200 AD using flies to catch trout. Fly fishing is a term used to describe the angling or fishing method that uses an artificial fly to entice the fish. The fly is cast into the water by a fly reel, fly rod and a weighted line that has to conform to specializations. These artificial flies resemble food organisms or other natural inverterbrates.The technique of fly fishing is significantly different from other forms of fishing because it involves

Introduction With fishing industries advancing dramatically, fishing gear now consists of equipment such as large nets and hooks to capture aquatic species at a much faster rate. But with such a large amount of fish being captured daily and many more being thrown away, we are reducing food supply. Thesis Statement: Advance in technology and fishing methods have made it easier to catch large amounts of fish in a short amount of time; resulting in endangering fish species, reduce reproduction rate

Kayaks have been classic vessels for fishing, as opposed to using a big boat. Many people are flocking to kayak fishing because of its many benefits. Kayaks for fishing range from two hundred dollars to thirteen hundred dollars, much less than the cost of a boat (fishhound). Operating a boat takes a toll on the angler and his gear and it comes with a lot to think about, and it is hard to handle. Using a kayak instead of a boat allows access to non motorised water bodies, as well as height and length
