Answer:

Nuclear is reliable.

Nuclear plants are the most efficient source of electricity, operating 24/7 at a more than 93 percent average capacity factor. ... That's more than two times the capacity factor of any other carbon-free source. During the 2019 polar vortex, U.S. plants operated at more than 98 percent capacity.

On the other hand, Wind is not as effective as some countries have little to no wind, especially the hot arab or african countries.

Some disadvantages are:

The wind is inconsistent.

Wind turbines involve high upfront capital investment.

Wind turbines have a visual impact.

May reduce the local bird population.

Wind turbines are prone to noise disturbances.

Installation can take up a significant portion of land.

Wind turbines can be a safety hazard.

Nuclear:

Expensive to Build. Despite being relatively inexpensive to operate, nuclear power plants are incredibly expensive to build—and the cost keeps rising.

Accidents.

Produces Radioactive Waste.

Impact on the Environment.

Security Threat.

Limited Fuel Supply.

However, both are at least better than fossil fuels as they are renewable.

Annette [7]

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.
