Difference between Pelagic fish and Wild fisheries

Pelagic fish vs. Wild fisheries

Pelagic fish live in the pelagic zone of ocean or lake waters – being neither close to the bottom nor near the shore – in contrast with demersal fish, which do live on or near the bottom, and reef fish, which are associated with coral reefs. A fishery is an area with an associated fish or aquatic population which is harvested for its commercial value.
