A fishing ground is that place especially suitable for setting or for casting fishing nets.. It is in the fishing grounds where the fishermen have or set their nets precisely because of the existence of very satisfactory conditions that facilitate the abundance of fishing.
So, the most common and important activities that take place in these special maritime zones for fishing or fishing grounds are: the extraction, handling and subsequent commercialization of marine products, such as fish, molluscs, among others.
Therefore, it turns out to be essential for the continuity of their business that fishermen seek and ensure their presence in international fishing grounds, for example, that they offer them a wide range of seafood.
Fishing, which consists of capturing and extracting fish or any other aquatic species from their natural habitat, is an activity that human beings have been practicing for a long time.
In ancient times, it was one of the main economic activities that man carried out to enrich himself, as well as to feed himself. Many ancient peoples have lived thanks to fishing.
According to figures published by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) exist around 38 million of fish farmers and fishermen, a figure that clearly demonstrates the diffusion and importance of this ancestral activity.
It should be noted that it is called fisherman to that person who is dedicated to throwing fishing nets in the fishing grounds, that is, to those who make fishing a means of survival and economic support, as well as to those who are dedicated to fishing but with a recreational and leisure purpose during his free time.
