Question

PLEASE HELP ME OUT!!!

Review this paragraph and read the graphic from the text “Overfishing the Oceans.” Then answer the question.

Overfishing is a serious threat that faces the health of our world’s oceans. Overfishing occurs when people catch most of the fish in a certain area or of a certain species. The demand for fish has risen sharply in recent years, and new technologies have been developed that allow people to catch more fish at once. This has resulted in a crash of many fish populations. Some species have decreased as much as 95%.



What can you learn by integrating the information from the paragraph and the graphic?
A. That some fish species have decreased by 95%
