Other shellfish that live in the sea that survive thanks to fish in the Gulf and other seafood are being affected because their food is ending. Not only is it ending, but it is also out new competitors with the same because they do not have enough to eat then they are looking for elsewhere. An example of this is the famous "jellyfish". According to jellyfish is attacking the parts where overfishing is most common. This caused environmentalists to start having a lot of fear about what could happen to the ecological ecosystems. Borris Worm, University of Halifax and member of the Census of Marine Life project, told expansión.mx the following, "We are entering a time of great uncertainty. If we continue as before, in 50 years there may not be much to collect sea. Then, in a few words what it means is that the gaps left by the fisheries that are no longer available or very other fish or other marine animals are taking few; which eventually will also be in danger. There’s a problem I came across about fishing that caught my attention. Now, we know the effects that come with the overuse of oil and fossil fuels, so there are limitations to how much can be used and how much can dug for. According to worldwildlife.org, there are no current (or few) laws that pertain to fishing. Fishing laws just don’t seem to exist. Well, …show more content…
UNAM studied to know the exact terms influences the Gulf in Mexico and found surprising numbers. ln other words, almost half of the fish production is in the Gulf of Mexico. This would mean that if one day there was nothing to fish in the Gulf almost half of seafood production was scarce. Not only would that mean it would be but also many jobs would be lost. UNAM also talks about overfishing and how it affects not only the animals in the water, but also those living outside of it. "Moreover, as a result of overfishing have been observing changes in species composition, while the volume of commercially important decreases of non-trade increases. This has dramatic effects on other species, such as birds and marine mammals, which are heavily dependent on various fish stocks. " Birds, of course, also survive from fish and other things in the sea, but also may begin to feel affected by the problem of overfishing. This basically follows a chain, in a way. In my opinion, it goes as follows: As companies over fish, that affects everyone who they end up reaching as food. If there’s an overfishing at some part of the year, the other sea creatures that feed off fish, will have a lack of food for that part of the year. After that, humans who feed off the sea life will now have a lack of food as well. If there happens to be a scarcity of fish, the normal flow of fish intake will become
