Destruction in a Food Chain
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

All creatures have a job in an ecosystem right? What happens to an animal is threatened to extinction, and finally extinct? Other animals in the same ecosystem try to fill in the spots taking over the jobs of that extinct/diminishing creature. Soon the species thats trying to fill in the missing spots will mass produce if there arent much problems to get in the way not giving a chance to the dwindling decline species a chance to replenish having its territory stolen to neighbouring species. For example Trout populations have declined in a lake, their neighbours Carp fish quickly take over their territory and greatly reproduce soon out numbering the Trout heavily.

Also Over-fishing has not only destroyed fish species it has also destroyed the species that have relied fish as their main source of food, being starved to death causing other species to collapse then continuing the destruction of other ecosystems and food chains (The lower the species is on the food chain the greater the damage it can cause to the species a level ahead of it ---> starvation). For example Salmon species decline due to over-fishing, bears who often base its diets on fish such as salmon (This does not involve Winny the Pooh in the case his die t is based on honey) begin to stave and die off, and also birds that feed on the bears leftovers of their meals.

So would you agree with me when i tell you that over-fishing isn't a problem in which we have to replenish our declining fish stocks, but as well its been destroying hundreds of other food-chains just because certain fish species cant regenerate their stocks for other species survival?

I Agree
I Disagree

Solutions
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

In my last blog I was asked what should be done about this event (over-fishing) happening each day. Well some solutions that have are being used as this is typed is fish farming, meaning capturing wild versions of diminishing species of fish and mass farming them to regain their lost population, later releasing some of them back into the wild. Another solution that has lasted temporary worldwide is having a ban on fishing in some coasts for months that have caused fisherman that fish around those coasts with much grief due to no work available to pay for whatever payments or living expenses. A third solution was to limit the amount of fish people were allowed to fish for recreational fishing to 1-2 fish a year.

So which solution do you find best for the world to adapt to?

A) Fish Farming
B) Fish Ban
C) Limit the amount of fish, you can fish
D) Become vegetarians! (Which would save more money)

Intro
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

My school speech art project topic is on Fishing was it better in the past or is it better now, and I don’t mean fishing techniques, or the different or new types of fishing reels, baits, nets, poles. What I mean is the depletion of the fish population decreasing dramatically without a chance for recovery. I've been told that long ago in the early 90s at the Atlantic/Pacific Coast and at The Great Lakes if you place a bucket in shallow areas like near the beaches and pull it back up, there would be dozens of live fish in the bucket, but now that the world human population has grown and the demand has increased for fish, some fishes are being driven to extinction just like animals in the past that have been driven to extinction because of human activities such as hunting to much or destroying their natural environments.

The Number of Fish in the World
Related to country: Canada

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Fishing continuously over the years have had a major impact now on today’s total fish populations, before continuing on I would like the you to take some of your time and complete a short survey:

Do you think fishing day in and day out has created the fish and other aquatic creature population to decrease dramatically and given the species no chance of recovering driving them to the edge of extinction?

(A) No, not at all I just walked by the pet shop yesterday and saw so many of those fishes
(B) Definitely, fish are dying off faster then popcorn popping and its all caused by Global Over-fishing
(C) Their been a change?, since when I wasn’t informed about it
(D) I have no idea (unsure)
