- 8.About 90 percent of big fish- such as giant tuna, swordfish, and Chilean sea bass- are gone from the world's oceans mainly due to over fishing to satisfy demand. In fact, at a UN summit meeting in 2002, 192 nations signed a declaration to try to restore such fish to healthy levels by 2015. Chilean sea bass is a good example of what happened to the big fish. Eight to ten years ago, very few people had heard of this fish. There wasn't much demand, and it was selling at $3 to $4 a pound. Then it became the "hot new fish." Suddenly, Chilean sea bass was featured on thousands of restaurant menus and sold in most supermarkets. Fishermen couldn't catch enough sea bass to keep up with the rising demand, though they tried. They were over fishing and not giving the fish enough time to replenish their populations. Today, even with the protection afforded by the nations signing the declaration, Chilean sea bass is so scarce that it sells for $18 to $20 a pound, and it is typically found on the menu of upscale restaurants. At $20 per pound, the quantity demanded has decreased considerably. Unfortunately, the species also is nearly gone from our oceans. According to the reading, why have nearly all of the big fish gone from the world's oceans?
- A.
They are healthy to eat.
- B.
The United Nations has failed to protect them
- C.
High demand of these fish has led to overfishing
- D.
They are cheap and easy to catch
