Abstract from DBPedia
    The fishing industry includes any industry or activity concerned with taking, culturing, processing, preserving, storing, transporting, marketing or selling fish or fish products. It is defined by the Food and Agriculture Organization as including recreational, subsistence and commercial fishing, and the related harvesting, processing, and marketing sectors. The commercial activity is aimed at the delivery of fish and other seafood products for human consumption or as input factors in other industrial processes. The livelihood of over 500 million people in developing countries depends directly or indirectly on fisheries and aquaculture. The fishing industry is struggling with environmental and welfare issues, including overfishing and occupational safety. Additionally, the combined pressures of climate change, biodiversity loss and overfishing endanger the livelihoods and food security of a substantial portion of the global population.

    水産業（すいさんぎょう、英語：fishing industry）は、一般には水産物を取り扱う業種の総称(そうしょう)をいう。「漁業」と混同されやすいが、「水産業」という場合には漁業のほかに水産加工業など水産物を利用する産業が含まれる。また、水産業は最も広い意味では製塩業をも含む。
