How have residents of Canada's eastern coast dealt with changes in the fishing industry?
1)they have completely given up fishing
2)they only fish for cod
3)they have banned aquaculture
4)they have concentrated on other economic activities
I think #4
Thanks for your help
1), A few are doing the Sentinel fishing for the government hand lining for cod to show stock status. Others have shifted to lobsters, crabs, etc.
2) The whole subject is about cod fishing is not allowed due to depletion of the stock.
3) This is not about fin fish aquaculture which is a whole other subject with a host of other problems.
4. Unfortunately I have to agree although there is a shortage of other economic activities. If you want to fish cod do not bother to come here (Gloucester, MA)
( Get a copy of Mark Kurlansky, "COD". It is not 100% correct but gives a pretty good description of the situation.)
By the way, although it is the cod stock, the mainstay of the industry, that is the chief concern, some other species are in short supply. However even if there are plenty of flatfish or dog fish (cape shark) or something though it is very difficult to catch them without catching cod by mistake. This is called "bycatch" and can not be tolerated so as a rule people are not allowed to fish the bottom at all.
The correct answer is indeed #4. Residents of Canada's eastern coast have dealt with changes in the fishing industry by concentrating on other economic activities. This includes diversifying their industries and finding alternative sources of income, such as tourism, aquaculture, and other forms of agriculture. By focusing on these activities, they have been able to adapt to the changes in the fishing industry and maintain their livelihoods.
You're welcome! Option 4, "they have concentrated on other economic activities," is indeed the correct answer.
Residents of Canada's eastern coast have had to adapt to changes in the fishing industry due to various factors such as overfishing and the decline of certain fish stocks. To deal with these changes, they have focused on diversifying their economies by engaging in other economic activities. This includes industries such as tourism, aquaculture, manufacturing, and services.
To arrive at the correct answer, it's helpful to have some background knowledge about the challenges faced by the fishing industry in Canada's eastern coast. You can gain this knowledge through research, news articles, or studying the region's history and economy. Understanding the context will enable you to make an informed choice.
