Trawling refers to the process of fishing that uses a fishing net through the sea water behind one or more boats. It is a common method of extraction of sea living resources.

It is the main cause of the degradation of the seabed which threatens the biodiversity. It kills a number of corals, sponges, fishes and the microflora on the seabed. Corals, particularly are damaged wouding the tissue and making them susceptible to infection. It also removes certain economically important sea weeds. The ocean sediments are disturbed causing the suspended solids to enter the seawater and causing turbidity affecting the penetration of sunlight. The suspended soilds can also cause growth of harmful algae causing algal blooms affecting the other biotic factors of the sea. The disturbance in the ocean sediments due to trawling causes the harmful pollutants like DDT that are trapped in the sediments reach the water column and enter the food chain of the living organisms.

What is a major problem with using foreign cells grown in culture for transplantation in humans?
soldi70 [24.7K]

The major problem with using foreign cells grown in culture for transplantation in humans is the host immune system would destroy such cells.

The body of your child is shielded from external invaders by the immune system. These include poisons, bacteria, viruses, fungus, and other types of germs (chemicals made by microbes). The various organs, cells, and proteins that make up the immune system cooperate with one another. Infections like measles, mono (mononucleosis), and the flu virus can also temporarily impair immunity. Additionally, unhealthy eating habits, alcoholism, and smoking might impair your immune system.

Antigens, which are proteins on the surface of the invading cells, are used by the immune system to identify invaders. Every substance or cell has a unique set of antigens, and every person's cells include "self-antigens" that are particular to that person.
