- Fish Stocks
- In the past 60 years commercial fishing fleets of large factory ships has built up.
- The result of uncontrolled overfishing is that stocks of edible fish has decreased
- In the North Sea the stocks are dangerously low because almost all of the breeding fish have been caught
- If not controlled species such as cod and bluefin tuna will disappear completely in some areas
- Tackling the problem
- Controlling the size of holes in the nets: this allows smaller fish to go free and keep the breeding going
- Bans of fishing in breeding season
- However this can be at human cost- fishermen have to make a living and many now cannot
- Another way is by creating mycoprotein which is a product made from a fungus giving you the protein benefits of meat.
- The Problem
- This is a world wide problem
