What is overfishing?
|
Overfishing occurs when a fish species is caught at a faster rate than it can reproduce. When it is no longer profitable for trawlers to catch a particular species, they go elsewhere to fish. But it takes a long time for a fish population to recover after it has been overfished. | | Some species of fish caught for food |
