A person employed in any aspect of the fishing industry, from catching to processing to selling fish.
From Old English 'fisc' + 'worker' from Old English 'weorc' (work) + -er (agent). Emerged as a general occupational term in modern labor terminology.
Modern fishworkers often labor under brutal conditions with minimal protections—the International Labour Organization has created specific conventions just for fishing industry workers because their working conditions are so extreme.
