Also called marine fish, this page describes fish caught as an economic resource that live in ocean water. Small and large boats, from single-person craft up to ships as large as two-mast ketches harvest whatever fish can be reached, using lines and nets. Large fishing vessels will travel up to thousands of miles ~ across the Atlantic most likely ~ to fish banks where the catch is at its greatest.
The world trade system tracks 28 species of saltwater fish, including anchovies, barbel, bonito, bream, carp, cod, flatfish, flounder, gudgeon, haddock, hake, halibut, herring, lamprey, lungen, mackerel, mullet, pilchard, pollan, roach, salon, sardines, shad, shark, sturgeon, tuna and vogla.
The world's total catch of saltwater fish is 79,914 tons, with 429 fisheries reporting. The total world value of salt-water fishing equals 6,469,918 g.p. annually (80.96 g.p./ton).
As treasure, 25 lb. of plundered fish = 1 x.p.
The largest saltwater fishing regions in order of importance are France, England, Naples (incl. Sicily & Sardinia), Spain, Ottoman Empire (Mediterranean Sea only), Portugal, Denmark, Sweden, Ottoman Empire (Black Sea only), Ulthua
