Spanish term or phrase: volcándose por completo en la pesca de altura.

Por otro lado, las embarcaciones, primero de vapor y después de motor, comenzaron a saturar el puerto, además muchas embarcaciones apostaron por la pesca de arrastre volcándose por completo en la pesca de altura.
I know that "pesca de altura" is deep-sea fishing" but can't put the sentence together.
Thanks in advance.

Government Increasingly Turning to Data Mining

The Pentagon pays a private company to compile data on teenagers it can recruit to the military. The Homeland Security Department buys consumer information to help screen people at borders and detect immigration fraud.

As federal agencies delve into the vast commercial market for consumer information, such as buying habits and financial records, they are tapping into data that would be difficult for the government to accumulate but that has become a booming business for private companies.
