Fishing has been on the rise like never before in Indian seas, and it is time to raise our voice. People generally tend to overlook issues like this: but the fact is disturbing. Commercial fish like tuna and halibut are caught, processed and packaged at record speeds by large, factory like ships in Indian waters.
The huge ships arrive from everywhere and catch fish in large numbers, freeze, clean and package at one go! In the process, these ships are wrecking the fauna of the seas. They've severely damaged the ocean's remaining fish populations.
According to experts, overfishing upsets the balance of marine ecosystems to the point of destruction. In an attempt make the best of the occupation, governments offer subsidies and logistic support to these mammoth ships that are innumerable.
Yes, fish population in Indian seas is at the threat of extinction. Fish cannot repopulate quickly. And looking at the speed in which fish have been caught in large numbers, it is apparent that the seas will lose their ecological balance.
It requires time for fish and at least give them ample time to flourish their tribes. If the huge ships are allowed to continue operating in the same fashion, the depleting fish population will completely disappear.
Sharad Pawarjee! Do something to stop overfishing and restore balance to the sea's ecosystem as early as possible…
