Description
In the fishing sector, different capture systems are used depending on the type of species to be caught and the fishing modality used. Fishing gears are extraction techniques or methods of catching fish or shellfish and there is a ride range of types, forms and methods of use depending on the distribution, lifestyle, and movements of the target species.
The most common fishing gears are the trawling, the purse seine fishing, the minor gear nets, as well as the gear and devices to catch shellfish and the hook equipment, used both in sport and professional fishing. In all cases, these gear and devices allow the capture of species that are not very accessible to industrial gear, facilitating the capture of species of great commercial value.
These professionals are in charge of controlling the process of making and assembling the fishing gear, the different configurations, tools, and construction materials, as well as repairs and maintenance, following the indications of the plans and/or traditional procedures.
This professional activity is found in the fishing sector, especially in fishing boats and in aquaculture activities that require the services of manufacturing fishing gear and equipment.
