2. Unsustainable fishing methods - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unsustainable_fishing_methods

   Commercial fishing showing the abundance of fish species caught using a trawling method. Unsustainable fishing methods refers to the use of various fishing methods to capture or harvest fish at a rate that is unsustainable for fish populations. [1] These methods facilitate destructive fishing practices that damage ocean ecosystems, resulting in ...

3. Environmental impact of fishing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/.../Environmental_impact_of_fishing

   These practices are destructive because they impact the habitat that the reef fish live on after the fish have been removed. Bottom trawling, the practice of pulling a fishing net along the sea bottom behind trawlers, removes around 5 to 25% of an area's seabed life on a single run. [12] This method of fishing tends to cause a lot of bycatch. [11]

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destructive_fishing_practices

   Destructive fishing practices are fishing practices which easily result in irreversible damage to habitats and the sustainability of the fishery ecosystems.Such damages can be caused by direct physical destruction of the underwater landform and vegetation, overfishing (especially of keystone species), indiscriminate killing/maiming of aquatic life, disruption of vital reproductive cycles, and ...

   With the absence of foreign fishing, many Canadian and U.S fishing trawlers took their place, and the number of cod kept diminishing past a point of recovery. [12] Many local fishers noticed the drastic decrease of cod and tried to inform local government officials. [citation needed] In a 1978 white paper, the Newfoundland government stated: [15]

9. The End of the Line (book) - Wikipedia

   For example, maximum sustainable yield, the optimal point between sustainable population size and fishing intensity, is discredited because of the inability to accurately measure fish populations, but it is still the objective of several international fishing conventions. Newfoundland, Canada, is a prime example of the collapse of a fishery.
