The given table demonstrates the comparision of large-scale and small-scale marine fishing industries worldwide particulary in the workforce size, the amount of catching, job costs, and fuel consumption.
Overall, local boats employ more people and cost less for each job, while large-scale fishing consumes more fuel and harvests higher amount of processed fishing.
In term of workforce, traditional ships’employment involves around 12,000,000 people, while the number of employees is around 500,000 people in commercial ones. Morover, mechanized ships yields a higher annual fish to 29 million tonnes than 24 million tonnes of small-scale ships. They processes a large amount of fish around 22 million tonnes, while modest setup produces almost no industrial fish.
When it comes to job costs, there is a different between two sectors. Each jobs in the industrial ships requires high-investment, from 30 thousand dollars to 300 thousand dollars, whereas the salaries per job in the smaller ones fluctuate from 250 dollars to 2500 dollars. Additionally, the small-scale marine fishing boats use less fuel, from 1.5 million tonnes to 1.8 million tonnes, while the fuel demand of large-scale industrial is from 14 million tonnes to 19 million tonnes.
