General Studies · Paragraph Summary
There is an increased demand for fish as it is a good source of protein. Due to this, about 70% of the world's marine fish stocks are now overfished or already fished at full capacity. Aquaculture is continuously expanded for farming fish for human consumption. But it is necessary to manage environmental risks associated with fish farming, such as water pollution and transmission of disease to adjacent wild fish populations. For this, the aquaculture sector needs to devise effective and environmentally friendly methods of rearing fish species, particularly predator fish like tuna. Wealthy people are crazy about eating fish like tuna that are fed using marine wild-caught fish, and this puts pressure on oceans. Select from the following statements the most appropriate conclusion of the above paragraph.
- 1The farming of only certain kinds of varieties is damaging the biodiversity of ecosystems.
- 2People should be encouraged to consume freshwater fish varieties that live in lakes and rivers to avoid pressure on the oceans.
- 3Aquaculture of predator fishes should be managed carefully or restricted until environmentally friendly methods are designed for rearing them.✓
- 4People should be encouraged to adopt a total vegan diet in the long term to avoid environmental problems.
Correct answer
Aquaculture of predator fishes should be managed carefully or restricted until environmentally friendly methods are designed for rearing them.
