Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

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.

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.

What it is for: Food, livelihoods and recreation.

It can be explain fishing methods and gear; find licence and seasonal rules; explain quotas and sustainability; present contested practices neutrally.
