Answer 1

Option A, Fixed quota models are risky because slight miscalculations can result in fish population extinction

Step-by-step explanation:

Some of the major drawbacks of modelling fishing are as follows –

a) The fixed quota model is very risky as a miniscule change in attributes can result into extinction of fish.

b) On the other hand fixed effort harvesting can decrease the risk of fish population extinction
