The ocean has a variety of rich resources, in addition to a variety of minerals, there are many fish resources. All kinds of aquatic products are very diverse and have their own characteristics. With the continuous development of fishing technology, more and more aquatic products are sent to the dining table of various households.

In addition to bringing people a fresh taste, they can also provide a variety of Nutrition. However, when the demand is increasing and the supply is increasing, the amount of aquatic products in the sea is decreasing, and some commercial fishing boats do not insist on sustainable development, so that the fishing industry is now facing some difficulties.

People in coastal areas may often eat a variety of aquatic products, which are relatively cheap because of their abundance and geographical advantages. In the inland areas far from the sea, although the price of aquatic products is relatively expensive, if you prefer to eat, you can often buy them. In short, the prices of general aquatic products are still within an acceptable range. However, the United Nations organization expects seafood prices to rise by nearly a quarter over the next 10 years. Yes, in addition to the reasons for the improvement of the economic level, there are other reasons. And that's mainly internal to the fishing industry, so let's take a look at it now.

The fishing and hunting life of human beings since ancient times has been replaced by large-scale industrial fishery production today. In the process of marching into the ocean, human beings demand more and more from the ocean. When the demands of human beings exceed the limit that the ocean can carry, the fishery resources of the ocean begin to shrink gradually, and eventually lead to extinction. In recent years, with the rapid growth of the world's population, the world's fishery production has developed rapidly, and many fishing areas have experienced excessive fishing.

You can look at this example, which can fully illustrate the serious social and economic consequences of overfishing. In 1992, the fishing industry in Newfoundland, Canada, collapsed completely. Fishermen did not catch a single cod for the entire fishing season. This was the result of the local fisheries department condoning overfishing. This situation caused 40,000 people to lose their jobs and the economy of the entire region declined.

Overfished organisms may cause the proliferation of other animals or other problems. Animals that feed on those overfished creatures are likely to starve to death. The loss of one or both species of fish in the food chain disrupts the entire food chain and impedes the normal flow of energy.

In addition to overfishing, unscrupulous fishing is also a very serious problem. Modern fisheries are highly specialized, with one or two "target species" per fishing, but many species that were not originally targeted are caught together, and most of them die during the sorting process. Sometimes these other organisms make up more than 80 percent of the catch.

Another thing to emphasize is the pollution problem. With the rapid global economic development and the increase of coastal population, the problem of water pollution has become increasingly prominent, which seriously restricts the sustainable development of water-based fisheries. In inland areas, the water quality of some lakes and rivers has deteriorated, and eutrophication has been serious, resulting in serious deaths of farmed fish.

Without the ocean, human beings have also lost their good helpers to maintain ecological balance. If humans continue to overfish and disrupt the ecological balance, the next victim will be humans themselves. Humans and marine life are equal, and protecting the ocean is not a choice, but a necessary responsibility.
