Fish are abundant in the sea and in fresh water, with species being known from mountain streams as well as in the deepest depths of the ocean. Food prepared from fish is also called fish and it is an important food source for humans. They are harvested either from wild fisheries or farmed in much the same way as cattle or chickens. They are also exploited by recreational fishers and fishkeepers, and are exhibited in public aquaria. Fish have had a role in many cultures through the ages, ranging from deities and religious symbols to the subjects of books and popular movies.Fish is a food consumed by many animal species, including humans. The word "fish" refers to both the animal and to the food prepared from it. Three quarters of the earth are covered for water and many rivers crisscross the interior, so fish has been from the dawn of time, an important part of the diet of humans in almost all countries in the world. Fish serves as a main source of protein. Fisheries are estimated to currently provide 16% of the world population's protein. The flesh of many fish is primarily valued as a source of food; there are many edible species of fish. Other marine life taken as food includes shellfish, crustaceans, sea cucumber, jellyfish and roe. Fish and other marine life are also be used for many other uses: pearls and mother-of-pearl, sharkskin and ray-skin. Sea horses, star fish, sea urchins and sea cucumber are used in traditional chinese medicine. Tyrian purple is a pigment made from marine snails, sepia is a pigment made from the inky secretions of cuttlefish. Fish glue has long been valued for its use in all manner of products. Isinglass is used for the clarification of wine and beer. Fish emulsion is a fertilizer emulsion that is produced from the fluid remains of fish processed for fish oil and fish meal. Proteins derived from fish are also extensively used in the production of cosmetics and beauty products. In the industry the term seafood products is often used instead of fish products. Thus, the demand for fish is ever increasing in almost all sectors of production.
