The provided table compares statistics for the world’s large-scale and small-scale sea fishing industries across five key sections: the number of workforces, annual catch for fish and industrial products measured in million tonnes, annual cost per capita in pounds, and annual fuel/oil consumption for each vessel (gallons).
Overall, the record of large ships serving the industry mostly outnumber that of small ships used for catching fish, except for the quantity of sailors. Additionally, despite having a useful and large capacity for resources, big scale industrial ships also show a tremendous expenditure.
Examining the record of employees, 120,000,000 sailors were employed for small-scale fishing boats, significantly outnumbering that of big scale industrial ships, which possess 500,000 workforces.
Concerning the annual statistics, big scale industrial ships show a great capacity measured in million tonnes, which store food and industrial products each year, comprising 29 and 22 respectively. Conversely, small-scale fishing boats only catch 24 million tonnes of food and there is no record for the industrial products. Annual income per capita paid in pounds for large-scale industrial ships ranges between £25,000 and £350,000, outnumbering that of small-scale fishing boats, which is recorded between £200 and £3000. Similarly, the amount of fuel/oil consumption for each vessel measured in gallons shows a huge gap between the two mentioned sectors, illustrating 65,000 for ships and 8,500 for boats.
