Which of the following is CORRECT?
"Too Many Fish in the Sea" was a popular American song in the 1960’s.
If written today, the lyrics might be "Too Few Fish in the Sea". In all of the world’s oceans, fish stocks have declined dramatically. In Asia, they have gone down by up to 30 percent in the past 25 years. Fishermen have to go farther out to sea than they used to and they return with fewer, smaller fish in their nets.
Stephen Hall, head of the WorldFish Center, a Malaysian research institute, says the main reason for the decline is over-fishing, which he calls the biggest threat to Asia’s oceans.
The effects of declining fish stocks on the region are enormous. Asia is not only the world’ s biggest producer of fish products, Asians also consume more seafood than anyone else in the world. It is an important part of most people’s diets and accounts for about half of the protein intake in the region.
As people in Asia have become more affluent, the demand for fish has grown, and prices have gone up. Poor Asians find it harder and harder to afford fish. And individual fishermen find it increasingly difficult to make a living. Stephen Hall says many in the region live on less than a dollar a day.
Some fishermen think that if fish stocks in their area are depleted, they can just go to the waters of another country. That does not work, however, as stocks are collapsing everywhere. Andy Cornish, director of conservation at the Hong Kong office of the WWF conservation group, predicts that the competition for seafood will lead to increasing conflict in the region.
