SOME INFORMATION ABOUT
PEARL DIVING
Pearl diving refers to an obsolete method of retrieving pearls from pearl oysters, freshwater pearl mussels and, on rare occasions,
other nacre-producing mollusks, such as abalone. Before the beginning of the 20th century, the only means of obtaining pearls was by manually gathering very large numbers of
pearl oysters (or pearl mussels) from the ocean floor (or lake, or river
bottom).
Few Meanings:
1.Oysters: Bivalve mollusk, esp. an edible kind, sometimes producing a pearl.
2.Obsolete: No longer used, antiquated.
3.Nacre-Producing: Nacre also known as mother of pearl, it is what makes up the outer coating of pearls.
4.Mollusks: Invertebrate with a soft body and usually, a hard shell, e.g. snails and oysters.
5. Bivalve: Aquatic mollusk with a hinged double shell, e.g. the oyster and mussel, with such a shell.
6. Mussel: It is the common name used for members of several families of clams or bivalve mollusk, from saltwater and freshwater habitats.
7. Abalone: It is a common name for any of a group of small to very large edible sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Haliotidae.

takes place in a specialized facility known as a shipyard. Shipbuilders, also called shipwrights, follow a specialized
occupation that traces its roots to before recorded history. Shipbuilding
and ship repairs, both commercial and military, are referred to as "naval engineering". The construction of
boats is a similar activity called boat building. The dismantling of ships is
called ship breaking.
Few Meanings:
1.Vessel: A craft designed for water transportation.
2.Shipyard: Place where ships are built.
3.Traces: Observe or find vestiges or signs of by investigation.
4.Commercial: Sponsored by an advertiser.
5.Military: Characteristic of soldiers or armed forces.
6. Naval Engineering: The branch of engineering that deals with the design and construction and operation of battle ships.
7. Dismantling: Take to pieces; pull down.
FISHING
INFORMATION ABOUT
FISHING
Fishing is the activity of trying to catch fish. Fish are normally caught in the wild. Techniques for catching
fish include hand gathering, spearing, netting, angling and trapping. The
term fishing may be applied to catching other aquatic animals such
as mollusks, cephalopods, crustaceans, and echinoderms. The
term is not normally applied to catching farmed fish, or to aquatic
mammals, such as whales, where the term whaling is more appropriate.
Few Meanings:
1.Wild: In its original natural state; not domesticated, cultivated, or civilized.
2.Hand Gathering: Gathering seafood by hand.
3.Spearing: Thrusting or throwing weapon with a long shaft and a pointed usually a steel tip.
4.Netting: Piece of net used to restrain, contain, or delimit, or to catch fish etc.
5. Angling: Fish with hook and line.
6. Trapping: A device, often baited, for catching animals.
