As its name indicates, Capture fishery refers to various practices involving the capture/harvesting of naturally occurring living resources in both marine<ref>Open seas, coastal regions, inland seas, etc…</ref> and freshwater<ref>Lakes, rivers, ponds, streams, etc…</ref> environments. If the industry involves the capture of finfish<ref name=Finfish />, mollusks and crustaceans, the largest part of its yield consists of finfish. Indeed, as capture fishing's most productive practices rely on draging or setting nets in open waters, swimming finfishs will have a much larger chance of getting caught than any other species. | As its name indicates, Capture fishery refers to various practices involving the capture/harvesting of naturally occurring living resources in both marine<ref>Open seas, coastal regions, inland seas, etc…</ref> and freshwater<ref>Lakes, rivers, ponds, streams, etc…</ref> environments.
