Introduction The sultanate‚ with a 1700 km-long coastline extending from the Musandam peninsula at the entrance to the gulf in the north to the border with the yemen republic in the south has extremely rich fishing grounds. Until 1970 the economy of the sultanate was almost entirely based on agriculture and fishing. And was a subsistence economy. Great efforts have been made since 1970 by the government to develop the industry. More than 150 species of fish have been identified in Omani

are a cause to pollution and also global warming. Fish is also in danger to become a scarce source. People are overfishing thus lessening the amount of fish in the sea. Sometimes‚ it’s also not a very good idea to grow fish in a fish farm. In Malta‚ fish farms are allocated to breed ‘Tuna.’ Somehow or another‚ this fish is not breeding well thus fish is being lost and lessened. Overfishing can lead to a poor rate of fishing and not to mention‚ if fishing becomes scarce‚ one might lose his job. Irrigation

International problem: Over fishing Fishing once thought of as a leisure activity is now causing serious issues on the marine environment. Fishing‚ when taken to the extreme can cause species to deplete in numbers and over turn the natural food chain. Many people are involved in over fishing all over the world. The reasons they take part in the practise are also altering. However many of the fisherman are from poorer countries and they see it as‚ the more fish they return home with the more they

rising costs‚ growing competition‚ and our reluctance to disrupt industry standards have made a price cuts an unattractive option. Furthermore‚ there is a growing body of scientific evidence to suggest that unless something is done to control overfishing‚ the industry as a whole faces imminent collapse.

observations. During the nineteenth century‚ fishery researchers began applying scientific methodology to study diverse factors affecting fish health‚ reproduction‚ and habitats. They contemplated reasons for decreased fish populations besides overfishing. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency representatives voiced concerns that climate deviations affected the quantity and quality of fisheries to the U.S. Congress in 1988. The American Fisheries Society promoted research examining how climate change

information I needed for my research and has helped me understand more about how overfishing is affecting corals negatively. This article has also provided me a video interview that was conducted with one of the researchers. Purpose: The purpose of this source is that it provided me more information for my research proving that overfishing contributes to the declination of coral reefs. We need to take action to remove overfishing near these corals because corals are vital to the ecosystem‚ helping us learn

Canadian history and use of the Atlantic Cod Fishery In the 1990’s‚ the Canadian Atlantic Cod fishery suffered a collapse when the populations were extremely overexploited and caused a massive dip in the cod’s biomass. Presently‚ the populations have still not fully recovered and as a result‚ the cod fishery is very limited in terms of catch. Thinking back to the collapse‚ one may wonder what factors contributed to the drop in biomass and if people have changed their outlook on fisheries enough

Chapter 11: 1-19 1. The management strategy changed from setting an annual total allowable catch (TAC) and allowing the fishing fleet to fish until the TAC was reached. In 1990 the fishing season was only 6 days‚ most of the fish caught had to be frozen‚ gear was lost or damaged‚ and crews were endangered when the weather was bad. Now the individual quota system is used‚ so owners of fishing vessels can decide when to fish within a season that last(s) as long as 8 months. The fishers got an increase
