Fishing technique

Fishing techniques embrace hand-gathering, spearfishing, netting, angling and trapping. Recreational, industrial and artisanal fishers use completely different techniques, and also, sometimes the similar techniques. Recreational fishers fish for pleasure or sport, whereas industrial fishers fish for profit. Artisanal fishers use ancient, low-tech strategies, for survival in third-world countries, and as a cultural heritage in alternative countries. Mostly, recreational fishers use sport fishing strategies and industrial fishers use netting strategies.
