Skills
Skills are player attributes which are leveled up through the use of specific tools or actions. Increasing skill will increase the proficiency of certain tools, and unlock helpful and unique crafting recipes. Each skill has ten levels, and at level 5 and level 10 players will select from one of two specific buffs to specialize into. These specializations take effect immediately; for example, the Level 5 Fisher specialization will increase the selling price of fish put into the shipping box the previous night.
A variety of skills can be temporarily improved by eating specific foods. These skills will appear as a buff icon next to the player clock in the user interface. Skills can be viewed in the player skill tab in the game pause menu.

The amount of experience earned for each caught fish is as follows:
(Quality of fish (stars) + 1) * 3 + Fish Difficulty (a value from 5-110 depending on the fish) / 3
This number is multiplied by 1.2 if you also have a treasure, 1.4 if it was perfect and 5 if it was a boss fish. For e.g. a regular quality sardine (difficulty 30) would net you (0+1)*3+30/3 = 13 xp.
Crab pots net you 5 xp each time you collect from them (no matter what is collected).
Fishing trash with the fishing pole gives 3 XP.
The xp required for leveling up is the same as for all skills:

Combat
Combat skill is increased by fighting monsters. Each level adds +5 health points. Tested crit chance with +50% Scout skill and two +10% crit chance rings. Chance to crit is multiplicative not additive: around 5-10% max [base * 1.5 * 1.1 * 1.1] with all boosts, not 50% + 10% + 10% = 70%.
