Read the following quote from a writer describing the distance water fishing fleets in the 1970s: “...try to imagine a mobile and completely self-contained timber- cutting machine that could smash through the roughest trails of the forest, cut down trees, mill them, and deliver consumer-ready lumber in half the time of normal logging and milling operations. This was exactly what factory trawlers did -- this was exactly their effect on fish -- in the forests of the deep. It could not long go unnoticed“. (Distant Water, William Warner) Based on this quote, what phenomena was this writer describing?

Large fleets of boats equipped to fish the deep waters with speed and efficiency also destroyed the fishing supplies.
