The table compares the data of the work's large-scale and small-scale sea fishing industries. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The chart highlights two specific categories of fishing industries: the larger company-owned ventures, which employ mechanized practices, and smaller artisanal scale fisheries, which focus on traditional, manual methods of fishing It correlates their employment status, efficiency, expenses, and ecological footprint.

Overall, while each sector fulfills the fisheries production quota, it is evident that the artisanal sector performs out of and over the cost constraints and makes the best use of available resources whereas the mechanized fisheries are much more wasteful and consume fuel aggressively.

Perhaps the most significant comparison has to do with employment. The artisanal sector employs over 30 million strangers while the industrial one employs approximately 200 times less, close to two million people. It is also the case that the economical costs of onboard employment in industrial ships is significantly greater, and costs between twenty thousand and three hundred thousand dollars, against the small scale fishers’ range, which is one hundred and five thousand dollars. Small fisheries also have better ROI, with one million dollars could buy employment for 200 to 10000 fishermen, while 3 to 30 is all the industrial fishing has to offer.

Artisan fishing is more effective and fuel-efficient because it takes only 1 tonne of fuel to catch 3 to 15 tonnes of fish, compared to the fuel efficiency of large scale fishing which yields only 1 to 2 tonne of fish per tonne of fuel. While large industrial ships use between 30 and 40 million tonne of fuel a year, compared to the 3 to 15 million tonne used by artisanal boats.

Environmental impact is another area where small-scale fishing has an advantage. The industrial sector discards around 5 million tonnes of bycatch on an annual basis, which is more than double the 2 million tonnes wasted by artisanal fishing. Another point which is worth mentioning is that large-scale fishing operations catch an additional 15 million tonnes of fish for industrial purposes, whereas small-scale or artisinal fishing almost entirely focuses on human consumption.
