    The scale and degree of capitalization of fisheries varies considerably-from
heavily capitalized, «high-tech» off shore operations where much of the prod-
uct is processed at sea and sold throughout the world, to «low-tech» near shore
operations, often operating at subsistence levels and without the benefit of re-
frigeration, commercial long distance transportation and product processing.
Fisheries of the latter type are common in developing countries that have fi-
shery resources but lack a sophisticated economic infrastructure. Such fisheries
are called artisanal fisheries. Finally, we have the practice of fishing for plea-
sure. This spectrum of possibilities offers a great challenge to fishery scientists
owing to the wide range of separate, often conflicting uses of fishery resources.
