Question

Scientists studying a fishery in the Pacific Ocean realize the growth of fish populations cannot support the demand of the fishing industry.

What is an effect of the increased demand for fish?

Responses:

The number of fish in the fishery will not change.
Fewer fish will be available in the fishery.
The number of fish in the fishery may increase or decrease.
More fish will be available in the fishery.

Answer 1

B. Fewer fish will be available in the fishery.

Step-by-step explanation:

An effect of the increased demand for fish is that fewer fish will be available in the fishery. As the demand for fish increases, more fish will be caught, reducing the overall population of fish in the fishery. This can lead to overfishing and potentially even the collapse of the fishery if not managed properly.
