Question

The annual world seafood catch grew from approximately 19 million tons in 1950 to approximately 90 million tons in 1997. As a consequence, there has been a dramatic decline in the commercial fish populations. What could be a possible successful policy solution to the fisheries problem? Develop fish hatcheries and release more fish into the ocean. Ban commercial fishing until sustainable levels have been achieved. Inform the general public to reduce the impact of recreational fishing. Place international limits on the number of fish countries can take.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is "Place international limits on the number of fish countries can take".

Explanation:

The increased demand of seafood has caused a dramatic decline in the commercial fish populations. Since there is no practical way to reduce people's demand, the possible policy solution to this problem is to place international limits on the number of fish countries can take. This would put a limit on the amount of fish consumption in each country, and would allow a slow but steady increment in the commercial fish population.
