I found it interesting that 29% of fish species have disappeared, and that fish populations have dropped to at least 90% below historical heights. This was interesting to me because these were big numbers and if it keeps going like this there will not be any fish left. These numbers also show how big of a problem this really is.

I found it surprising that they make 80 billion dollars off of fishing. I found this surprising because this either there selling fish for 200 dollars or they catch millions of fish a day because 80 billion is a huge number.

What I found very surprising was that the fishing industry makes about $80 B dollars every year for fishing, and they know that fishes are becoming more scarce in the sea, and that overfishing is a problem. I’ve even talked to my mom about this, and she didn’t care, while eating a clam. So I’m kinda surprised about how people want to kill these fishies and eat them even if they are almost extinct and and a main problem for a food apocalypse.

I found that the way we can reverse the trend of depletion was interesting. The text claims that one way we can r Duce the depletion of fish is that we can set limits on large-scale fishing and pollution, while creating safe areas like marine reserves to protect our oceans. This shows how measures have been set to protect our waters. Furthermore the text claims that we have become one of the biggest consumers of marine life, eating fish, crab, clams, and other delicacies. This describes how in time we can become vegetarian to reduce consumption of fish in order to do our part in saving our waters.

Based on my reading of the text “Hook, Line, and Sinker”, I was surprised that more people eat shrimp than fish. I was surprised by that because the article was about how fish are dying out but it had nothing to do about shrimp. As a result this leads me to ask “ Is there a larger quantity of shrimp than fish?” If so are they going to die out to?

I found it surprising that researchers found out that 29 fish species are close to disappearing. I found that surprising because even though it doesn’t seem like much, 29% is a lot of fish. And if we keep this up, we could lose fishhhhh! Fish population have dropped 90% below their historical heights. I feel like this is a bad thing, and in 30 years, if there is no fish,people should be thinking that they should’ve stopped overfishing.

Based on my reading of the text, I found it interesting for many reasons. A part of the text that caught my attention was the graph that they had demonstrated. It had showed the amount of information that they had collected throughout their study. In the text it says “ An international team of 14 researchers spent four years analyzing fish populations, catch records, and other marine studies.” This shows that they were taking their job seriously and they truly want to help the marine life.

One thing that I found interesting in this article was that 29% of all fish species have nearly disappeared. I found this interesting as I knew that some species are nearly extinct or extinct, but I did not know that it was this many.

One thing that I found surprising based on my reading the text, “Hook, Line, and Sinker” is that fish will soon be extinct. On the first page, the text states, “If we don’t change the way we treat the ocean, fish may be rare in the future.” I found this surprising because it’s shocking to know that fish are endangered and when I grow up, fish won’t be there. People might end up asking, “Hey, remember fish?”. I could not think about what would happen since it really surprised me.

I found it surprising that 80-90% of the fish caught in shrimp fishing nets are thrown back because they are the wrong fish. This surprises me because that’s hundreds of dead fish that get wasted.

Based on my reading what I found most surprising I s that 29 percent of all fish species, have nearly disappeared, this is because when it comes to fish there’s a lot of fish and the thought of 29 percent of the species gone is alot in my opinion.

I found it interesting that all of the worlds fish could go extinct by 2048. That is only 30 years away! That is very close to now and I will be middle aged when this happens. I might not be able to have fish to eat when I am 41!

I found the chart a little confusing, it told you a fish and showed an amount of pounds, for example it said shrimp, showed a picture of 4 fish and .2 of a fish. I guess this is the average amount people buy or eat.

Based on my reading of the text, “Hook, Line, and Sinker”, what I found interesting and surprising is that we keep overfishing and polluting. I found this interesting and surprising because we know that this is bad for the species in the oceans and that we are destroying the ecosystem but we aren’t doing anything about it. But I also think that we should protect more areas. In the text it states, “The researchers have called for measures to protect current fish population, such as having nations set limits on large-scale fishing, reducing pollution, and creating protected areas. I think we should do more about this.

based on my reading of “hook line and sinker” what I found interesting was the chart shown in the reading I found this interesting because it shows how many pounds of sea food was consumed by Americans in the year 2004

What I found interesting is how much fisher people make 80 billion dollars a year
