Automation vector
Artisanal and freshwater fishing is carried out on small boats in highly variable marine or river physical environments. It is an intensely manual occupation that depends on empirical knowledge of the environment, physical dexterity to handle nets, and direct bodily effort. The small scale of this activity makes investment in complex automation unprofitable, protecting this traditional trade based on human physical skill.

La pesca artesanal y de aguas dulces se realiza en embarcaciones pequeñas en entornos físicos marinos o fluviales muy variables. Es una labor intensamente manual que depende del conocimiento empírico del entorno, la destreza física para manejar redes y el esfuerzo corporal directo. La escala reducida de esta actividad hace que la inversión en automatización compleja no sea rentable, protegiendo este oficio tradicional basado en la habilidad física humana.
