Question

Overfishing has led to a significant decline in fish populations worldwide. As fishing practices have become more advanced, large quantities of fish are caught at a rate faster than they can reproduce. This decline has disrupted marine ecosystems, causing a decrease in marine biodiversity. As a result, many species are now on the brink of extinction, which affects the food chain and local economies that depend on fishing. Question 1: What is the main effect of overfishing described in the paragraph?

Answer 1

The main effect of overfishing described in the paragraph is the significant decline in fish populations worldwide, which has disrupted marine ecosystems and led to a decrease in marine biodiversity. This decline also affects species on the brink of extinction, impacting the food chain and local economies that rely on fishing.
