In some third world countries "cyanide fishing" for aquarium trade is allowed. Cyanide fishing uses the cyanide to "stun" fish a

nd make them easy to catch. But the cyanide combined with handling stress has led to a mortality rate in the captured fish somewhere between 60% and 80%. Knowing this, how might this method impact the environment? Cyanide is a safe chemical, so there will not be any effect on the environment.
B) Increase cyanide levels in the water will increase the biodiversity in that area.


C) Since so many fish are being caught, there is more room for predators to flourish.


D) It could lead to overfishing, since more fish have to be caught due to the high mortality rate.

The best answer would be letter D, it could lead to over-fishing, since more fish have to be caught due to the high-mortality rate. 

Cyanide fishing is actually one of the greatest threats within the oceans and seas. It is a quick-fix solution that humans have resulted to in order to gain more profit. As a result, the environment of species in the water are directly affected.

Which of the following best explains why herring gull chicks were one of the first species to exhibit the effects of pollution,
prohojiy [21]
The correct answer is A.
Toxins and various pollutants increase in concentration through the food chain in a process called biomagnification. This means that the organisms on the top of the food chain, like the herring gull, have many times greater concentration of toxins than the lower food chain level organisms because they prey on lower food chain level organisms. If a herring gull ears 100 herrings, it will have a 100x times greater concentration of toxins in its body than a herring.
