Words Related to Fishing.
Fishing is the practice of catching wild fish for food, recreation, trade, or their products.Fish is important to human nutrition because it provides essential minerals such as calcium, phosphorus,zinc, iron, selenium, and iodine as well as vitamin A, D, and B, thus helping to reduce the risk of both malnutrition and non-communicable diseases which may co-occur when high energy intake is combined with a lack of balanced nutrition.
Fishing is an important economic activity that provides food from sea and thereby creates employment not only for whoever (the fishermen) directly collects that food (fish, crustaceans, mollusks) but also for those who operates in the entire chain, from the construction of vessels and equipment supplies related to the marketing of products.
