Commercial fishing involves catching fish and other seafood for sale and profit. This type of fishing is typically conducted by large boats and companies that use various methods, such as trawling and longlining, to harvest significant quantities of fish. The seafood is then processed and distributed to markets, restaurants, and grocery stores. Recreational fishing, on the other hand, is done for enjoyment and leisure rather than for profit. Individuals or families often fish in lakes, rivers, or oceans using rods, reels, and bait. This activity can be a relaxing pastime and is often regulated by local laws to ensure sustainable fish populations and habitats.
