Hunting is the practice of killing or trapping animals, or pursuing or tracking them with the intent of doing so.

Hunting wildlife or feral animals is most commonly done by humans for food, recreation, to remove predators that are dangerous to humans or domestic animals, or for trade.

Lawful hunting is distinguished from poaching, which is the illegal killing, trapping or capture of the hunted species.

The species that are hunted are referred to as game or prey and are usually mammals and birds.

Fishing is the activity of trying to catch fish.

Fish are normally caught in the wild.

Techniques for catching fish include hand gathering, spearing, netting, angling and trapping.

Fishing may include catching aquatic animals other than fish, such as molluscs, cephalopods, crustaceans, and echinoderms.

The term is not normally applied to catching farmed fish, or to aquatic mammals, such as whales where the term whaling is more appropriate.

Regulation is an abstract concept of management of complex systems according to a set of rules and trends.

In systems theory, these types of rules exist in various fields of biology and society, but the term has slightly different meanings according to context.

For example:

A bag limit is a law imposed on hunters and fishermen restricting the number of animals within a specific species or group of species they may kill and keep.

Size limits and hunting seasons sometimes accompany bag limits which place restrictions on the size of those animals and the time of year during which hunters may legally kill them.

Those who violate these laws or other hunting laws are known as poachers.

A state is a type of polity that is an organized political community living under a single system of government.

States may or may not be sovereign.

For instance, federated states are members of a federal union, and may have only partial sovereignty, but are, nonetheless, states.

Some states are subject to external sovereignty or hegemony, in which ultimate sovereignty lies in another state.

States that are sovereign are known as sovereign states.
