The primary industry in Arctic regions is fishing, particularly commercial fishing for species such as cod, herring, and shrimp. Due to the cold waters and rich marine biodiversity, fishing provides a vital source of income and sustenance for many communities in the Arctic. In addition to fishing, oil and gas extraction are significant industries in some areas, taking advantage of the Arctic's rich hydrocarbon resources. Tourism is also growing, with visitors attracted to the region's unique landscapes and wildlife. However, environmental concerns and climate change are increasingly impacting these industries and the ecosystems they rely on.
