If so, what do you like to be called - is it OK to include you in 'fishermen', or would you prefer 'fisherwoman', in which case the collective term would be 'fisherpeople'?
I would particularly like to know if women from Japan, Phillippines, Thailand, South American and African countries work on fishing vessels, and how you/they prefer to be described, but would also like to hear views from UK, EU, or US fishing vessel crew. If you are a man, would it offend you to be described as a 'fisherperson'? Thanks.

Lance - it's for a report. People on trawlers, etc., so can't really be called anglers unless they're using rod & line.

Well if you are interested sport "fishers" are knows as "anglers" which is gender neutral. I'm curious are you thinking of a career in the commercial fishery?
