I'm not an expert but Old Joe Herring could perhaps have dibs on a particular herring-hiding shoal, and maybe his nets are knotted in a finer gauge than those made and used by Herbert Cod over by the reef. Whereas Charlie Tuna heads out to the deep and uses a hook and really strong line.

Or maybe Old Joe actually brings in mostly carp, but he LOOKS like a herring.
