Fish are eaten by billions of people all around the globe. The unanswered question is: will the oceans be able to feed the earth’s population in the coming years as in the past decades.
One among the fishes mostly eaten by people is the tuna, this type of fish is being fished unsustainably all around the globe. The world’s fishes are being exploited by 32% and it has been this way since 1990 and according to the statistics, aqua life is getting scarcer. The U.S. has fixed some restrictions on the fishing sector and this step has allowed some fishes to rebound but unfortunately other countries didn’t comply with this.
The skipjack is the only fish that has not been heavily fished till now, according to the United Nation Food and Agriculture Organization. In 2007 a law was signed by the U.S. President, Mr. George W. Bush, which is to place a limit amount on the amount fishing. This law was passed so as we get rid of over fishing and let the future aquaculture population grow safely. However, overfishing is not the only worries as people are destroying the natural habitat of fishes and the coast which scientists believe is irreversible.
Different kinds of steps are being taken so as to improve this situation, people are relying more on fish farming and laws are being strict on sustainability so as to improve the fishing sector. The earlier the global management starts the better are the chances to increase wild life.
