Finfish Fishing

Finfish fishing employers capture or harvest finfish (such as salmon, cod, or other marine species) using fishing vessels, gear, and onboard operations. Jobs commonly include deckhands, boat operators, fishers, gear technicians, and processing or quality-assurance support during trips. Work is hands-on and physically demanding, often involving early mornings, long days on boats, and time on the water; licensing and safety training (e.g., for operating equipment and working at sea) are commonly required.
