Fishery has played a vital economic and social role throughout history. Some of the earliest evidence of regular freshwater fish consumption dates back 42,000-39,000 years ago among hunter-gatherer societies. Over time, fishing technologies advanced, including early hooks from 7,500-3,000 BCE, bronze harpoons by Harappans in the Bronze Age, and the development of commercial fishing utilizing techniques like gillnets. Recreational fishing also emerged as a popular pastime by the 15th century. Fishery continues to be an important business
