  -> Thank you, BdiL.

neutral  Armorel Young: Doesn't work here, because it sounds as though you are talking about the running of a company, and you can't run a company in the middle of the sea.//Of course you can run a fishery but you run it from an office on land, not off the shore.

  -> Can't you run a fishery?

neutral  B D Finch: You are confusing a company's operations and its management.

Asker: Thanks. But you used the same word to explain this for me. Do you think you can clarify the meaning of active voice of "operate" in this context for me?
