Read the paragraph and answer the next two questions:

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.
