Mhair siad ar an iascaireacht agus ar an bhfeirmeoireacht caoirigh.
"They lived off fishing and sheep farming." (if they simply survived by it.)
Thuill siad a mbeatha leis an iascaireacht agus leis an bhfeirmeoireacht caoirigh.
"They earned a living from fishing and sheep farming." (if they made money from it.)
Await more advanced input and corrections...

Some corrections of my own:
ar an bhfeirmeoireacht caoirigh >> ar an bhfeirmeoireacht caorach
leis an bhfeirmeoireacht caoirigh >> leis an bhfeirmeoireacht caorach |

There are various ways to say this. Here are my contributions:
Shaothraigh siad a gcuid [nó a mbeatha] le hiascach agus le tógáil caorach.
nó
Thug siad a mbeatha i dtír ar iascach agus ar thógáil caorach.
(Not sure fishing works with the second one, though.)
I ndiaidh a chéile a thógtar na caisleáin.
