The table gives information about the assessment of two ships with different sizes in four criteria including number of employees, annual catch, annual cost and annual fuel/coil consumption.
Overall, the large-sized industrial ships were higher than the small-sized fishing boats in most aspects, except the number of employees.
Most employees were hired by small extended fishing boats, at 120.000.000 people, followed by big-scale industrial ships with 500.000 people. In contrast, while the big-scale industrial ships catched 29 million tonnes per year for food and 22 million tonnes annually for industrial process, the total output of small-scale fishing boats was only 24 million tonnes for food.
Therefore, the salary of each employee in big-scale industrial ships between 25.000 and 350.000 which was significantly higher than that in small-scale fishing boats at just from 200 to 3.000. The amount of fuel consumed in small-scale fishing boats was much lower than the figure for big-scale industrial ships, 8.500 gallons as opposed to 65.000 gallons.
