Most dangerous job of the world

Real crab and Snow crab fishing is the most dangerous job on the world, according to experts and statistics of death at work. Crab fishing is realized every years between October ad January, extreme temperatures and billowy sea are factors that make these profession so difficult and danger.

"The main cause of loss of life is typically the loss of the boat," said Jeremy Turner, a fishing expert at FAO.

"When you lose a boat, you lose a large number if not all of the crew. Other reasons are collisions and explosions." Turner said that the reduction of crews to cut costs, lack of training, bad weather and fatigue also play a role, in a scenario that sees "just too many boats.""When you fish like that, safety goes out of the window," he said. Turner said that some of the most dangerous fisheries are located in the northeastern Pacific Ocean, the North Atlantic Ocean and the North Sea.

Fishing and aquaculture supplied the world with about 110 million tons of fish in 2006, the FAO report said. Top producing countries are China, Peru and the United States. The FAO report also warned of the perils of overfishing saying that about a half of major commercial fishing areas that it monitors are fished to their limits, and a fifth are overexploited.
A separate report issued Monday by conservation group Oceana said that predators such as bluefin tuna, dolphins and whales are suffering from lack of food as well as disease and fertility problems because of overfishing of their prey.
