17-494: The history of Wildau began with fisherman 's families that settled by the Dahme River and then came to deliver sand , gravel and bricks from the region by boat to Berlin. Mechanical engineering put Wildau on the map as a location for industry . In 1897, the company Schwartzkopff GmbH established a locomotive factory here, and built housing for the factory workers that is today under cultural heritage management . During

34-423: A hook is called angling , and fishers using this technique are sometimes referred to as anglers . When angling, it is sometimes expected or required that the fish be caught and released . Big-game fishing is fishing from boats to catch large open-water species such as tuna , sharks and marlin . Noodling and trout tickling are also recreational activities. For some communities , fishing provides not only

51-419: A major means of survival as well as a business venture. Fishing and fishermen have also influenced Ancient Egyptian religion ; mullets were worshipped as a sign of the arriving flood season . Bastet was often manifested in the form of a catfish . In ancient Egyptian literature , the process that Amun used to create the world is associated with the tilapia 's method of mouth-brooding . According to

68-512: A source of food and work but also community and cultural identity. The fishing industry is hazardous for Artisan fishers. Between 1992 and 1999, US commercial fishing vessels averaged 78 deaths per year. The main contributors to fatalities are: Many fishermen, while accepting that fishing is dangerous, staunchly defend their independence. Many proposed laws and additional regulation to increase safety have been defeated because fishers oppose them. Alaska's commercial fishermen work in one of

85-999: Is a continuing pattern of losing 20 to 40 vessels every year. There are still about 100 fishermen who must be rescued each year from cold Alaska waters. Successful rescue is still dependent on the expertly trained personnel of the US Coast Guard Search and Rescue operations, but their efforts can be hindered by the harshness of seas and the weather. Furthermore, the people involved in Search and Rescue operations are themselves at considerable risk of injury or death during these rescue attempts. Artisan fishing Artisanal fishing (or traditional / subsistence fishing ) consists of various small-scale, low-technology , low-capital, fishing practices undertaken by individual fisherman (as opposed to commercial fishing ). Many of these households are of coastal or island ethnic groups. These households make short (rarely overnight) fishing trips close to

102-456: Is estimated to be equivalent to an annual fatality rate of 128 per 100,000 workers/year. This fatality rate is 26 times the overall U.S. work-related fatality rate of about 5 per 100,000 workers/year for the same time period. While the work-related fatality rate for commercial fishermen in Alaska is still very high, it does appear to be decreasing: since 1990, there has been a 51 percent decline in

119-504: Is fishing for pleasure or competition. It can be contrasted with commercial fishing, which is fishing for economic profit , or subsistence fishing , which is fishing for survival. The most common form of recreational fishing is done with a rod , reel , line , hooks and any one of a wide range of baits . Lures are frequently used in place of bait. Some people make handmade lures, including plastic lures and artificial flies . The practice of catching or attempting to catch fish with

136-510: Is often less wasteful and less stressful on fish populations than modern industrial fishing. Target 14.b of Sustainable Development Goal 14 works to provide access rights to artisanal fishers on marine resources and markets. Hundreds of millions of people around the world rely on artisanal fisheries to live. Artisanal fishing is critically important for not only food, but for jobs, income, nutrition, food security , sustainable livelihoods, and poverty alleviation as well. Artisanal fisheries are

153-480: Is someone who captures fish and other animals from a body of water , or gathers shellfish . Worldwide, there are about 38 million commercial and subsistence fishers and fish farmers . Fishermen may be professional or recreational . Fishing has existed as a means of obtaining food since the Mesolithic period. Fishing has existed as a means of obtaining food since the Mesolithic period. Fishing had become

170-806: The FAO , there were about 39 million fishermen in countries producing more than 200,000 tonnes in 2012, which is nearly 140% the number in 1995. The total fishery production of 66 million tonnes equated to an average productivity of 3.5 tonnes per person. Most of this growth took place in Asian countries, where four-fifths of world fishermen and fish farmers dwell. Most fishermen are involved in offshore and deep-sea fisheries. Women and men fish in some regions inshore from small boats or collect shellfish and seaweed . In many artisanal fishing communities, women or men are responsible for making and repairing nets , post-harvest processing and marketing . Recreational fishing

187-611: The Second World War , local factories were involved in armaments production . After the war, they became East Germany 's state enterprise in heavy engineering . After German unification , the factories were mostly shut down by the Treuhand . In the region around Wildau, numerous technology and business parks have been set up in recent years, with service industries, logistics centers, as well as energy and environmental technology companies. An engineering school founded in 1949,

204-827: The Context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication and was implemented in 2015. In addition, there is increased global advocacy to provide access for small-scale artisanal fishers to marine resources and market, this is one of the major targets of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 14 . A traditional dug out canoe between 3–18 meters long is used in Nigeria for artisanal fishing. Artisanal fishers in this area use gear that included, "cast nets, handlines, basket traps, longlines, set gillnets and beach and purse seines". Fishing vessels used in Sudan include from

221-423: The annual fatality rate. The successes in commercial fishing are due in part to the U.S. Coast Guard implementing new safety requirements in the early 1990s. These safety requirements contributed to 96 percent of commercial fishermen surviving vessel sinkings/capsizings in 2004, whereas in 1991, only 73 percent survived. While the number of occupational deaths of commercial fishermen in Alaska has been reduced, there

238-596: The predominant form of fisheries in "tropical developing countries" such as Nigeria. The importance of artisanal and small-scale fisheries have been recognized in the first internationally agreed instrument dedicated entirely to small-scale fisheries. This agreement, drafted by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations is titled the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in

255-554: The shore. Their produce is usually not processed and is mainly for local consumption. Artisan fishing uses traditional fishing techniques such as rod and tackle , fishing arrows and harpoons , cast nets , and small (if any) traditional fishing boats . For that reason, socio-economic status of artisanal fishing community has become an interest of the authorities in recent years. Artisan fishing may be undertaken for both commercial and subsistence reasons. It contrasts with large-scale modern commercial fishing practices in that it

272-416: The world's harshest environments. The hardships they endure include isolated fishing grounds, high winds, seasonal darkness, very cold water, icing, and short fishing seasons, when very long work days are the norm. Fatigue, physical stress , and financial pressures face most Alaska fishermen through their careers. Out of 948 work-related deaths in Alaska during 1990–2006, one-third (311) were of fishermen. This

289-539: Was an integral part of mechanical engineering in the region before 1990. In 1991 the federal state of Brandenburg founded the Technical University of Applied Sciences Wildau . In 2013 Wildau acquired the title of city and now is one of 113 other such small cities in Brandenburg . This Brandenburg location article is a stub . You can help Misplaced Pages by expanding it .
