👉 The term "codfishery" is a slang term used to describe the practice of fishing in waters where there is a high concentration of commercially available cod fish. This can occur due to factors such as overfishing, pollution, and habitat destruction. In some areas of the world, codfisheries have been established to manage the supply of cod fish for commercial use. However, these fisheries are often subject to environmental degradation, with large numbers of fish being killed or caught illegally without proper permits.
