Problem statement: The effect of human impact on fish population.

Background: Fishing, depending on how humans fish, can effect the fish population. There are two types of fishing; over fishing and sustainable fishing. Over fishing negatively effects the fish population dramatically. Since over fishing is when fisherman gather fish with large nets, a large portion a fish are taken away for their environment. These fish cannot be replaced immediately because it takes years for new fishes to be born, grow and mature, and then reproduce. If over fishing continues, overtime the population will decrease; which can cause fishes to go extinct. In some cases, other species, such as dolphins, are caught in the nets and may die. Meanwhile, sustainable fishing is when the government passes quotas the limit the number of fish that fishermen can hunt. This type of fishing keeps the fish population at a steady number. Also, it does not negatively affect other species.

If sustainable is better for the fish population, than why do people overfish? People love to eat fish.Over fishing is caused by a low stock on fishes in places that serve sea food. If sea food businesses have more fish, then they make more money. Plus, the fishermen that hunt these fishes are paid by the businesses that make sea food, depending on how much fish they supply them.

Navigation Options [|edit navigation] || Peer Review Well to begin with, this person's background is clearly too short. This person also did not mention the independent/dependent variables in the experiment. This person also did not explain any relationship between the IV and the DV. This person also had no constants in his background. I think all this person wrote was facts about fishing, but failed to talk about important constants, DVs and IVs. In my opinion, this person did the background the night before it was due. This person had a good idea using pictures, but he also could have chosen different colorful fishes, grey is too gloomy. Last, but not least, this person should have used more sources, not just two. Grade: D-
