Usage Note
Pesquería refers to a fishing area, a fishing rights zone, or the fishing industry in a given region — las pesquerías del Atlántico Norte ('the North Atlantic fisheries'). It is more technical than pescadería ('fishmonger's shop') and pesca ('fishing' as an activity). International fisheries law and news articles are the main contexts where learners will encounter it.
Examples
"Las pesquerías locales están en peligro."
Natural Translation
The local fisheries are in danger.
