Question

3) In some third world countries "cyanide fishing" for aquarium trade is allowed. Cyanide fishing uses the cyanide to "stun" fish and make them easy to catch. But the cyanide combined with handling stress has led to a mortality rate in the captured fish somewhere between 60% and 80%. Knowing this, how might this method impact the environment?

Answer 1

It could lead to overfishing, since more fish have to be caught due to the high mortality rate.

Answer 2

Answer: There will a increase in the catching fishes(over fishing) due to high mortality rate.

Step-by-step explanation:

There will be an increase in the mortality rate of fishes due to cyanide fishing. This technique makes the fish catching easy.

Cyanide and handling stress increases the mortality rate of fishes and makes them more easy to catch as they cannot move very fast.

This technique makes the fisherman easy to catch the fishes.
