Talk:List of seafood companies

Inclusion in Category:Seafood companies
This article is in Category:Seafood companies, but that is a container category and so should only contain categories, not individual articles. However given the obvious fit of the article to the category I have started a discussion at Category talk:Seafood companies as to whether its container status needs to change, which I thought I would flag up here given the connection to this article.

List of seafood companies → List of fishing companies – Google hits for "fishing company" at 1.3m are ~20% more common that for "seafood company"at 1.1m. And per my argument at the Categories_for_discussion/Log/2022_March_8, it seems that fishing industry/company is synonymous with seafood industry/company.

 * Oppose: Apples and Oranges.  Seafood is a type of food (a product), while Fishing is an activity, so any comparison via searches is at best meaningless.   I suspect there are thousands of “companies” that engage in the activity of commercial and sport fishing.  Seafood on the other hand as a type of food is not only obtained via fishing, but aquaculture and hand harvesting as well.  Commercial oyster beds and massive mussel farms are not considered “fishing”.   There is no “fishing” involved in the propagation, growth and harvesting of large offshore aquaculture farms producing salmon and other species for the seafood market. The companies listed are large commercial “seafood” (product) companies, not exclusively “fishing” (activity) companies.  Such a name change would subject this list to the inclusion of 100s of commercial and sport fishing companies while eliminating any seafood company involved only in aquaculture.

 * Oppose per Mike Cline. Fishing is an activity, seafood is a product.  These companies are differentiated by their product, not their activity. Many do not engage in fishing or primary production at all, but merely in food processing and marketing. Walrasiad (talk) 14:14, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose per Walrasiad that some of these entries are indeed not engaged in the collection, but only down-stream (ha!) operations. I added my oppose to the CFD on this basis as well. DMacks (talk) 14:34, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
