The basic problems which are affecting fishing industry include the adverse impacts of environmental pollution which is either discharged from the industries or the households which throw their wastes into the rivers which later on affects the lives of fish and marine animals. Because of toxicity of these wastes, the health of fish is highly affected which eventually causes fish to die before they are caught. Another problem is overfishing, which is causing depletion of fish and other sea food animals in the seas and the rivers. The stocks of fish are depleting which is giving a great downward push to the individuals involved in fishing industry.
