A Brief History of World Commercial Fishing

Fish， I like it and I think you like it， too. But do you know that some day we will have no fish to eat？ Nowadays the world's rapidly growing population is crying out for more and more fish， which leads to the ，rapid development of commercial fishing， which results in lakes， rivers and oceans being crowded with fishing-boats， which brings about the gradual extinction of many species of fish.This dangerous tendency can be seen in the two pictures which reveal the dramatic changes occurring in world commercial fishing during the past 95 years：in 1900 fishes were many and boats few， while in 1995 boats were many and fishes few.

　　The drawer of the pictures was， in my mind， supposed to be motivated by two purposes： to warn people of the danger of overexploiting fish resources and to attract world's attention to the protection of fish species.We should thank the author over-fishing，I suggest that goverments of all countries lay down certain laws and， at the same time，encourage artificial propagation so as to exploit new resources.Last but not the least important，those who are engaged in fishery should be self-disciplined. In this way，I think we will have fish to eat every day.
