Giant ships using state-of-the-art fish finding sonar and helicopters
or spotter planes can pinpoint schools of fish quickly and accurately.
The ships also have fish processing and packing plants, huge freezing systems, fishmeal processing plants and powerful engines to drag enormous fishing gear through the ocean.
Three main industrial fishing methods used are: purse-seine nets, longlines, and pole and line. Purse-seiners and longliners account for the majority of catch and the fishing capacity.
