Link to Modern marvels: commercial fishing documentary
Documentary Description
Americans consume more than 5-billion pounds yearly, an order that takes
more than a fishing rod to fill and worries conservationists. We follow
the fish, the fishermen, and the science trying to preserve fisheries
for future generations--from ancient ships on the Nile to a modern
technologically sophisticated factory trawler on the Bering Sea to the
University of New Hampshire's open-ocean aquaculture research project.
And we witness a wide variety of fishing methods--from gillnetting and
longlining to lobster trapping. Hop aboard and sail through time and
around the globe as we explore the harsh conditions of life at sea and
experience firsthand one of history's deadliest jobs. Brace yourself and
feel the ice-cold, salt spray on your face as we explore commercial
fishing!
