The table describes the differences between extensive and small-scale fisheries in terms of workforce, yearly catch, initial investment and annual fuel oil usage.
For local boats, the number of human resources has already reached 12 million, which 24 times greater than that of industrial ships, this indicates that they demand more manpower. On the other hand, large ships in fishing industries require costs many times higher compared to smaller boats, usually because of the huge structure and the vast array of equipment. This is demonstrated through the money spent on large-scale ships ranges from 30 to 300 thousands dollars, while minimal amount of money was used to cover initial costs for small-scale ships.
In the fishing process, industrial ships have shown that their yield provides an efficient food supply, with 29 million tonnes of food caught per year and approximately 22 million tonnes processed industrially. In contrast, smaller boats, which have larger workforces, yield 5 million tonnes less in food production, and their industrial benefit rate is extremely low. One more remarkable thing that while the large-scale fishing industry emits 14 to 19 million tonnes of fuel, the small-scale industry releases only 1.5 to 1.8 million tonnes in a year.
