The state of isostasy suggests that the Earth's lithosphere is floating over the asthenosphere. This is due to the difference in density between the crust from the lithosphere and the mantle layer, the crust is less dense than the mantle so it is floating above it at a certain elevation. This is also the reason for all of the tectonic movement and process on the Earth.

Answer:

Explanation below

Explanation:

Asia and the Pacific region have continued to remain the world's largest producer of fish. Various researchers have identified certain benefits of consuming seafood, which have caused greater demand for them. Apart from being ideal source of vitamins, fish is also rich in Omega 3 fatty acids, which can help prevent high blood pressure, cancer and heart diseases. Seafood also strengthen the immune system through their antioxidants.  

Rapid advances in fishing technology have led to the dramatic increase over the last 50 years in how many fish we are able to catch. Most people in the fishing business now use factory ships, in place of fishing vessels. These ships are can stay at the sea for several weeks and they have all the necessary equipment that can be used to either freeze of tin fish that they catch using their hunting ships.  

The factory ships need to get full before they can return to base and this has caused over a 7% growth in catches every year.
