The
environmental impact of
fishing includes issues such as the availability of fish, overfishing, fisheries, and
fisheries management; as well as the impact of industrial
fishing on other elements of the environment, such as by-catch while many
fishing practices can be extremely adept at harvesting fish, they also often incidentally catch non-target species, known as by catch. Logline
fishing is one of the major by catch culprits. This practice is often employed in the open ocean and consists of miles of lines off of which thousands of baited hooks are attached and a single long line can have more than 2,500 hooks. Sea turtles are especially prone to capture in long lines since they must reach the surface of the ocean to breathe. When they go for the bait on the lines, the hooks become lodged in their mouths and they drown because they cannot reach the surface. Other than reducing fish shares, unsustainable
fishing practices could have other poor affects at the marine environment. For instance, a few
fishing techniques such as dredging and trawling can purpose vast damage to marine habitats and organisms dwelling on the ocean floor
fishing is one of the maximum widespread drivers of declines in ocean wildlife populations. Catching fish is not inherently horrific for the sea, besides for whilst vessels seize fish faster than shares can refill, something known as overfishing.
