Which of the following applies to Iceland's attempt to prevent the decline of cod fisheries?Catching a wider variety of different fish species to reduce pressure on cod.Sharing fish stocks more equally with other countries.Allowing fishermen to determine fishing quotas.Using improved technology to detect fish stocks in deeper waters.

Researchers have hypothesized that a boom in the populations of harp seals and gray seals in some areas of the Atlantic Ocean is linked to the decline in the population of Atlantic cod, one of the main food sources of the seals. Atlantic cod are one of the species most impacted by human fishing, and in the 1990s their populations decreased to such a degree that many governments banned the fishing of Atlantic cod. Without having to compete with another apex predator, seals were allowed to hunt more cod than ever before. Which finding, if true, would most directly support the researchers’ hypothesis?Increases in the populations of harp seals and gray seals are also associated with the decrease of seals' prey other than Atlantic cod.eliminatePopulations of Atlantic cod tend to have seen greater increases in temperate waters, which are generally less hospitable to harp seals and gray seals than arctic waters. eliminatePopulations of harp seals and gray seals have increased most significantly in the regional waters of nations that have banned the fishing of Atlantic cod.eliminateIn the regional waters of nations that have banned the fishing of Atlantic cod, Atlantic cod populations increased, which resulted in a similar increase in the populations of harp seals and gray seals.

Which argument about fishing would most likely appeal to an audience of fishing boat captains?A.Raising fish in hatcheries is a good way to make up for shortages in a company's product supply.B.Fishing companies need to be careful to make their nets as dolphin safe as possible.C.Overfishing has had a catastrophic effect on ocean habitats, affecting many species of mammals.D.Catching fish in the wild is a way of life, and it provides jobs for millions of people worldwide

Goodbye, CodThe Atlantic cod was once the mainstay of the United States fishing industry. However, warming of the ocean along the shores of New England has caused the stock of cod to disappear almost completely. According to scientists at the Gulf of Maine Research Institute, the Gulf of Maine is heating up faster than a majority of the rest of the planet's oceans. As a result of warmer ocean waters, female cod produce fewer offspring, and these fish are less likely to survive to maturity. Even though recreational cod fishing was banned in 2014, and strict limitations were placed on the number of fish commercial fishermen could catch, these measures have not been enough to protect the cod.What is the main, or central, idea of the passage?

Excessive fishing occurs becauseGroup of answer choiceseach individual fisherman has little incentive to maintain the species for the next year.fishermen rely on government managers to worry about fish populations.fishermen are unionized, so they are not concerned with externalities.fishermen have other marketable skills and do not fear exploitation of fish reserves.

A fishing community is experiencing a decline in fish stocks due to over-harvesting. The community must decide whether to implement fishing quotas to sustainably manage the fishery, which could lead to short-term economic losses but long-term environmental benefits.   Year Fish Harvest (tons) Economic Impact (USD) Fish Population Decline (%)2019 1000 1,000,000 302020 950 950,000 252021 900 900,000 202022 850 850,000 152023 800 800,000 10Based on the data table, what trend can be observed regarding fish harvest and fish population decline?    A.As fish harvest decreased, fish population decline decreased.B.As fish harvest decreased, fish population decline increased. C.There is no clear relationship between fish harvest and fish population decline. D.Fish population decline remained constant regardless of fish harvest.
