Fishing Industry (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781435886896)

The fishing industry -- one of the oldest sources for jobs around -- is a $25 billion business, employing nearly 200,000 Americans as commercial fishermen. Since North Americans are eating more seafood than ever before, this book is perfect for reluctant readers with a love of the outdoors who may not be interested in an office job. Written in easy-to-understand language, the book provides a thorough look at everything from being a captain of an offshore fishing vessel to the exciting job of a fishing conservationist at a state park. Discussion of salary and working conditions is included.
