Spanish term

gran altura

Spanish to English Other Fisheries
"Tipos de pesca: bajura, altura y gran altura"

If, as I understand it, "pesca bajura" is coastal fishing and "pesca altura" is deep-sea fishing, what is "pesca de gran altura"? Do we have these three terms in English?

deep-sea (fishing)

I'd say 'pesca de gran altura' would correspond to 'deep-sea fishing' and 'pesca de altura' to 'offshore fishing'.

Reference:

deep-sea fishing

Please refer to the glossary in the last pages of these two entries from the Official Journal of the EU.

They point towards "deep-sea fishing" ( and "high-sea fishing" for "pesca de altura").

I hope it helps.
