(a) Deep-sea fishing
(b) Capturing fish from the sea coast
(c) Raising and capturing fish in freshwater
(d) Oil extraction from fish

Answer 1

Hint: They are an important sector of many local economies and are considered to be important in sustaining the livelihoods of many rural communities. They are important sources of domestic fish utilization.

Complete answer: Inland fisheries are the trade fishing action that happens in freshwater. Inland fisheries indicate the fisheries, aquaculture, fishing practices, management, and economics of fishery- related work in the inland system. Some of the fishing is a catch, where the fishing living naturally in the body of water is gathered. The other sort of inland fishery is the workplace, where the fish are raised in tanks and ponds.
- Inland fisheries are distinct from marine fisheries within nature and in the range of drivers that influence them.
- Although commercially intensive fisheries exist, inland fisheries are generally characterized by small- scale/household- based activities.
- Participation in fisheries is high and the bulk of the catch is consumed locally.
- By catch is unimportant as almost all fish caught are used. This means that their benefits are widely spread.
- Inland fisheries are also very diverse, being based on a range of ecosystems whose fish communities respond very differently to internal (fisheries- based) and external (natural- and human ecosystem-based) drivers.
So, the correct answer is ‘Raising and capturing fish in freshwater’.

Note: In other words, capturing and culturing the fishes of oceans and seas is called marine fisheries. Freshwater fisheries and brackish water fisheries are collectively called inland fisheries. Aquaculture is the farming of fish or shellfish in freshwater and saline water.
