Trawling the depths
A line cuts across the ocean's surface, as fishermen aboard the "Nicolas Jeremy" raise their nets off the coast of northern France.
The job of a trawler can be tough. The European fishing industry as a whole suffers from too many vessels chasing too few fish, and although some fish populations are recovering, the European Commission has said that an estimated 75 percent of EU stocks are over-exploited.
