Overfishing is a Great Threat to Fisheries and Aquaculture !!

January 3, 2022

Excessive fishing is catching a lot of fish together, so breeding is very low that it can not be recovered. Overfishing leads to drastic loss of water life, as it carries large amounts of unwanted fish or other animals, which are then discarded, because they don't require in the form of food.

Lot of people around the world depend on fishing for their livelihood and millions depend on fish as the main source of protein. The poor system, and no rules of fishing reduces the aquaculture very badly. Catching too much fish looks like a profitable process, but it ruins the ecosystem badly.

Causes

Fishing areas are largely unsafe - only 1.4% of the oceans have been declared a safe area, and most of them are still open to fishermen. This means that areas can be damaged or eliminated. Lack of knowledge of fish population and quota in the world class. There are very few rules on fishing practices in international waters; it means that fishing fleets can ignore areas that have rules and regulations.

Most parts of the world lack complete oversight of their fishing industry, which means fishing fleet practices and activities are not monitored or barely monitored. There are many communities around the world that depend on fish for their food. Excessive fishing is a serious threat to people, which is often located in developing countries. Without their ability to catch their food, their populations are threatened.

Another concern of excessive fishing is that since this industry is very large, there are many sea animals that are trapped in this process, but are not used for food. This may mean that everything from dolphins to turtles can be influenced by the presence of fishing fleets.

The poor health of coral reefs is more damaging to coral reefs and other elements of the ocean ecosystem with a large amount of small sea creatures. Rocks are essential for Marine life, and once they are damaged, it is difficult to fix the damage, if at all.

Decline of Aquatic life

Overfishing leads to wildlife decline.

Overfishing has resulted in significant reduction in fish stocks such as tuna and code declining rapidly, as well as side effects on other marine biota. Billions of Marine mammals, seabirds and sea turtles, toads are caught every year with millions of shark fish. Many of these species are endangered and protected, while some such as Wichita, eastern Pacific tuna, European eel and razorback are on the verge of extinction

Solutions

Illegal fishing.

It's Very important to stop illegal fishing, because it is a great risk to fisheries, aquaculture and overall oceanic life. The legal limits of catching are based on scientific estimates of what a fish population can maintain. Population is at risk when more fish are caught than planned in the management plan.

Educating Exporters

Another way conservationists are trying to change the problem of overfishing is the education about ways to buy seafood from sustainable fishing. Hopefully, by providing support for the purpose at this level, there will be more pressure on fishing to comply with standards.

Protection of sea areas

The protected sea area is a very important step to help reduce the impact of excessive fishing on some of the world's incredible rocks and Marine structure by establishing more protected areas at sea.
