− | + | The fishing industry, like {{L|farming}} and the {{L|Meat Industry}}, creates both {{L|food}} and goods that can be used in workshops (i.e. {{L|shell}}s). When starting out in a fish-rich area, fishing can be an excellent way to quickly fill up your food barrels as it requires very little set-up for your dwarfs. | |

Unlike {{L|hunting}} or {{L|trapping}}, Dwarfs need no special equipment to catch fish. They just pull them straight out of the water. It is important to find a good spot for fishing and designate it as a fishing {{L|zone}}. If you don't, your dwarfs will keep going to whatever body of water please them, and potentially waste valuable time catching nothing in the swamps. |

However, since it has already been processed, this fish is really more of a {{L|food}} item. {{L|Turtle}}s, {{L|mussel}}s and {{L|oyster}}s bought at embark or from traders cannot be used to generate {{L|shells}}. |

This process will take "raw" fish and yield "prepared" fish. It may also yield a {{L|shell}} from certain creatures that can be used by your craftsdwarfs to embellish items (as of v0.31.03, crafting items out of shells was broken). Both raw and cleaned fish are stored in food stocks and {{L|rot}} quickly, so makes sure to put them in barrels or use them to prepare food in the {{L|kitchen}}. |

It is most efficient to have twice as many dwarfs assigned to fish cleaning as to fishing, since your fisherdwarfs can catch things very quickly, but cleaning can take a long time. Once the fishing industry has matured even more, it is definitely worthwhile to build multiple fisheries to handle all the fish you haul in. |

Many, like sharks and merfolk, have to be captured and/or killed using {{L|traps}} or {{L|weapons}} and are butchered instead of cleaned at the fishery. See the {{L|Meat industry}} for more on handling larger prey fish. |
