Commercial Fishing
Along the coast of the southern U.S. state of Georgia, jellyfish are a valuable export, which end up on dining tables across Asia. The jellyfish are dried, preserved and packaged before being sold to a seafood distributor that ships them to Japan, China, and Thailand.
Jellyball (as they are known locally) fishing is Georgia’s third largest commercial fishery - after shrimp and crabs - but only five boats are permitted to catch them.

Famous quotes containing the words commercial and/or fishing:
“The cultivation of one set of faculties tends to the disuse of others. The loss of one faculty sharpens others; the blind are sensitive in touch. Has not the extreme cultivation of the commercial faculty permitted others as essential to national life, to be blighted by disease?”
—J. Ellen Foster (1840–1910)
“If fishing is a religion, fly fishing is high church.”
—Tom Brokaw (b. 1940)
