Gone Fishing

For centuries mankind has been fascinated with fish, using them for sustenance, for inspiration and for relaxation. Fishing in contemporary times is done in a number of ways - either angling, netting, trapping, gathering or spearing them. Fish are most often fished from wild rivers, ponds, streams or lakes as well as oceans and though some species of fish are raised on farms most of the general public are not allowed to fish on these farms. Fish farming and fish oriented businesses account for more than 500 million jobs globally.
