Fishing is one of the oldest occupations of mankind. Fishing embraces all aspects of man’s pursuit of the aquatic animals in the seas and in the inland waters all over the world.

Fish are vital source of food in coun­tries like Japan, Norway, Iceland and Newfoundland.

The world’s major commercial fishing grounds are located in the cool waters of the Northern Hemisphere in high altitudes. Commercial fishing is little devel­oped in the Southern Hemisphere.

The importance of the Northern Hemisphere is be­cause of the fact that, it is a land hemisphere with a large population and with a great length of indented coastline providing many harbours. The three major fishing grounds of the world, which are located in the temperate latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere.

Japan, Soviet Union, U.S.A., Norway, China, Britain, Peru are leading fishing na­tions of world.

The 18th century was mainly an era of consolidation of the techniques developed in the previous century. Running rings began to appear along the fishing rods, which gave anglers greater control over the cast line. The rods themselves were also becoming increasingly sophisticated and specialised for different roles. Jointed rods became common from the middle of the century and bamboo came to be used for the top section of the rod, giving it a much greater strength and flexibility.
