Artisanal Fishing
 Artisanal fishing is
small scale industrial fishing. The captain of an artisanal fishing boat is often the
owner or part-owner along with a family member who may also
be part of the crew. Boats usually return to port each day
or after only
a few days at sea.
In some areas imports of foreign fish have led to a drop
in local prices. Fresh fish caught locally cannot compete
with cheap imports. Artisanal fishers are at the mercy of
fluctuating prices, weather and the hazards of the sea.

As Jesus was walking by the Lake of Galilee he saw two
brothers, Simon who was called Peter, and his brother
Andrew; they were making a cast into the lake with their
net, for they were fishermen. And he said to them,
come after me and I will make you fishers of
men.”
and at once they left their nets and followed him.
Going on from there he saw another pair of brothers,
James son of Zebedee and his brother John; they were in
their boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets,
and he called them. And at once, leaving the boat and their
father, they followed him.
(Mt 4, 18-22) |
