Overfishing
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Overfishing puts more than one-third of all sharks, rays, and chimaeras at risk of extinction. More than one-third of all sharks, rays, and chimaeras are now at risk of extinction because of overfishing, according to a new study re-assessing their IUCN Red List of Threatened Species extinction risk status.
Detailed explanation-2: -Another example of overfishing is the Atlantic Cod stock between the 1970s and the 1990s. As technology increased in these years, cod stocks became more accessible to fishermen. Although these populations were once believed to be unlimited, the fish population soon plummeted to unsustainable levels.
Detailed explanation-3: -Almost 90 percent of global marine fish stocks are now fully exploited or overfished, and wild capture fisheries struggle without sound regulatory frameworks and strong enforcement. The status of marine biodiversity is closely connected with ocean pollution and acidification.
