The Sardine Crash
The Ocean is one of the most important sources of food. From the ancient times, humans have used
its resources for food. Fish is the most significant seafood harvest. Since ancient times, fishing has
developed and increased. Before, people didn't have good techniques for successful fishing compared
to today's fishing equipment. Therefore, because of efficient equipment and the significance of fishing
in our society, many kinds of fish are in danger of disappearing. Overfishing is a very big problem
today. The Sardine is one of the most useful kinds of fish. It is a very small fish compared to all the big
fish in the sea. The article, “Sea Food Crisis: Time for a Sea Change” by Paul Greenberg, from
National Geographic Magazine, demonstrates that in regards to the sea food chain, little fish have a big
impact on bigger fish and even humans are affected by this ocean food web. By this definition, sardines
are the first-order consumers which are very important for ocean predators as a main source of food.
So, people consume a lot of big fish whose existence depends on sardines. Overfishing and climate
change are the possible causes of sardine crash which have many dangerous effects on the ecosystem
and humans, and these problems require immediate solutions to save the first-order consumers.
Sardine crash can be a very big problem in history. People indicate two main causes of this crash
which are overfishing and climate change. An increase of fish consuming causes the opening of new
fishing grounds. Today all the oceans are used as a fishing areas. Many of
