How it's used

Focuses on professional or large scale fishing activities rather than casual recreational fishing. It carries a slightly formal or industrial tone compared to the everyday term 捉魚 which is used for catching fish by hand or in casual settings. Use this when describing the occupation of fishermen or the act of harvesting fish from the ocean.

Common mistake

Avoid using this for casual activities like catching a goldfish in a small tank or fishing at a local pond, as it sounds overly serious or technical. Use 捉魚 for those informal situations instead.
