What it is Filled
The activity of catching fish and other aquatic animals for food, trade or recreation, using methods such as angling, netting, trapping and spearing, practised by commercial fleets, small-scale and subsistence fishers and anglers; fishing is regulated through licences, quotas, seasons and gear rules, and some practices such as whaling and drive hunts are internationally contested.
Why it exists Filled
Let an agent explain fishing methods and regulation, help anglers with licences and rules, describe commercial fishing and sustainability with sourced data, and present contested practices neutrally with attribution.
Distinguishing features Filled
- Catching aquatic animals
- Many methods
- Licensed and regulated
- Sustainability concerns
What robots and AI may and may not do Filled
Must not
- Help fish in protected areas, out of season, beyond quota or without a licence.
- Help disguise illegal catch, such as by switching off vessel tracking or falsifying logs.
- Encourage methods banned in a fishery, such as explosives or poisons.
- Ignore the welfare of fish caught for release or bycatch of protected species.
Only with a human decision
- Setting quotas or allocating fishing rights.
May
- Report fishing rules, seasons, quotas and protected areas from official sources.
- Help a licensed fisher log catches and comply with reporting rules.
Moral aspects Filled
- Overfishing destroys stocks that coastal communities depend on.
- Forced labour has been found on fishing vessels.
Who is affected
- Fish stocks and marine life
- Small-scale and subsistence fishers
