The table compares data for the world large-scale and small-scale sea fishing industries.
The table illustrates the statistics for two types of sea fishing sectors, comparing industrial fleets with smaller, traditional boats. Looking from an overall perspective, it is readily apparent that industrial ships generate greater output, both in terms of fish for food, and more prominently, fish for processing. Although large-scale operations support far fewer jobs, they pay significantly more for workers.
Industrial ships hire only 500,000 employees in total, while local boats employ a considerably greater number of workers at 12,000,000. Despite the size difference in the labor force, industrial ships catch 29 million tonnes of fish for food annually compared to just 24 million tonnes caught by local boats. Similarly, large ships catch approximately 24 million tonnes of fish for industrial processing, whereas this figure for local boats was negligible.
The amount of capital allocated per worker ranges from $30,000 to $300,000, while labor costs for small-scale operations are substantially lower, varying between a minimum salary of $250 and a maximum of $2,500. Lastly, large ships require more fuel to operate, with oil consumption reaching up to 19 million tonnes, while this figure for small ships is only about 1.5 million to 1.8 million tonnes.
