The table chart provides the comparison of the information based on two means of fishing organisations: large scale and small scale. Overall, the small-scale fishing industry had more employees than that of large-scale fishing organization. Notably the proportions of annual catch marine fish for industrial reduction to meal and oil and fish destroyed at sea each year as by-catch in shrimp fisheries are different in both industries, with the large-scale industry having about twenty-two million and six to sixteen tonnes, respectively, while the small-scale one ha almost none.
The figure for yearly human consumption is relatively higher in large scale organization (29 million tonnes) than the small scale (24 million tonnes). Additionally, the large-scale organization has the highest capital cost of job on fishing vessels, at $30,000-$300,000, whilst the small-scale has just $250-2,500. It is worth noting that in spite of spending the same amount of fuel, the small-scale fishing industry has more tonnes of fish than the large-scale industry, with the first one having 10-20 tonnes, while the latter having 2-5 tonnes per one tonne of fuel.
Concerning the fuel annual consumption, the large-scale industry consumes 14-19 million tonnes, while the small-scale industry uses 1-2.5 tonnes in a year. Finally, the number of fishermen employed for each one million in fishing vessels is significantly higher in the small-scale industry (500-4,000), while the large-industry has only 5-30 members of fishery.
