Trawling (用拖网捕鱼) the seabed for fish is an environmental disaster; it wrecks ecosystems, destroys fish stocks and leaves behind a marine desert. Right? Environment campaigners say so. But there is growing evidence that the effect is sometimes very different, with trawling increasing fish stocks from the North Sea to the California coast. A new modeling study may for the first time have demonstrated why.
Trawlers attach large nets to a metal beam dragged across the seabed to catch bottom-dwelling fish. Greenpeace compares it to "driving a huge bulldozer through a forest", leaving a flat, featureless desert on the seabed. Trawling clearly does remove fish, such as large crustaceans and shellfish, says Daniel van Denderen of the Wageningen Institute for Marine Resources and Ecosystem Studies in the Netherlands. But this is a lucky break for softer, smaller species lurking in the sandy seabed, such as worms. They survive and, with fewer rivals, flourish.
And if, as is often the case, these smaller critters are the main food for fish, then the overall effect is to nurture more marine life. Imants Priede, director of Oceanlab at the University of Aberdeen, UK, says there is growing evidence that—while far from universal—the phenomenon is real. "On continental shelves such as the southern North Sea, where shifting sands and gravels are stirred up by strong tidal currents, even trawling more than once a year may be beneficial for some fish stocks," he says.
In fact, studies going back 20 years have linked persistent trawling with increased fish stocks. The cause of this counter-intuitive finding has remained uncertain. Some have suggested that trawling stirs up the seabed, throwing potential food into the water column—rather like ploughing a field. Others think that discards from fish nets add to the food available on the sea floor. But van Denderen is the first to show how trawling can stimulate fisheries simply by drifting from ecosystems. "The findings are very important," says Priede. [br] Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
选项
A、Trawling is good for fish stocks.
B、Trawling reduces fish stocks.
C、Whether trawling is beneficial for fish stocks increasing
D、Trawling needs to be advocated.
答案
C
解析
文章对trawling和fish stocks的关系进行了探讨,指出trawling虽然对海床造成破坏,捕捞了一些大型的甲壳类水生动物,但是小型的水生动物生存下来并大量繁殖,所以在一定程度上也有利于鱼类增加。但文章最后一段明确指出这种关系并不明确。所以本题答案为C。
