The kanji 漁 combines the water radical 氵 with 魚 (fish), clearly evoking the idea of fishing or the act of catching fish in water. The reading リョウ was adapted to match “猟” (hunt), emphasizing its connection to harvesting from nature.

漁師りょうしが 海うみに出でかけた。
The fisherman went out to sea.

今日きょうは 大漁たいりょうだった！
We had a big catch today!

彼かれは 密漁みつりょうで 逮捕たいほされた。
He was arrested for illegal fishing.

🎧 Commonly pronounced as ぎょ (gyo) or りょう (ryou). The kun-yomi あさる (to search or fish) is rarely used in modern contexts but exists in compound forms.
