Dropping Populations


For many people, fishing is satisfying and rewarding because you are able to eat what you catch while being in nature. There is a high demand for fish all over the world. Fish is popular in restaurants and grocery stores, fish is used in pet food, bait and in some supplements. There is so much fishing going on that some species are getting to extinction. Some species cannot reproduce fast enough to keep up with the demand. People are also farm raising fish like red snapper, Atlantic salmon, bluefin tuna, and king crab to help make up for shortage. Fish farms are not always environmentally friendly because they give the fish unnatural diets and their enclosures are small which spreads disease. Do you think that some of these species will get wiped out? Go here for more information. (by Ned)
