Governmental agencies put strict limits on commercial fishing. In some locations, the boats are only allowed to fish during certain hours of the day. There are also limits to where these boats may drop their nets. Not following these rules can incur a heavy fine, so the captain of a boat must be vigilant. Paying an expensive fine would cut deeply into the profits. Law enforcement officers regularly patrol the fishing waters to make sure the crews of all boats obey the laws. They use helicopters and low-flying planes to observe the activities of the commercial fishers.

Commercial fishing boats use multiple nets to troll and catch fish. Governments around the world put strict limits on commercial fishing.
