Question

The collapse of fisheries is most noticeable among the smaller fish that are consumed by larger predatory fish, such as sharks and tuna.​ true or false

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is: False.

Explanation:

• A Fishery collapse can be defined as the condition in which the composition of different species of fishes forming a food chain or a food web and located in a marine or aquatic community undergoes a drastic alteration.
• The alternation can be caused due to environmental or anthropological factors.
• A fishery collapse usually affects the larger fish population like sharks and tuna as their commercial and economic demand is higher.
• Excessive fishing cause the population of the large fishes to decline without affecting the small fish population.
• This is because the small fishes do not have high economic or commercial demand, hence they have very less probability of being angled or captured.
