Here (in the US) that style of knife (>>11810408)
is usually used by fishermen. Many of them are made with hollow plastic or cork handles so you can use them on a fishing boat and can easily recover the knife if you accidentally drop it overboard, though that one is obviously made for kitchen use.

The ones for meat boning are shorter, less flexible, and the blade normally angles backward like pic related. They do work well for fish though.
