End of the Line Pt. 2

Big Question: Why should we humans be concerned about overfishing?
 - Poor Fisheries Management
 - Pirate Fishers(don't respect fishing laws or agreements)
 -Subsidies that keep too many boats on the water

1. What are the "Big Five" fish we eat all the times?
 - Alaska or Walleye Pollack
 - Anchovy
 - Arctic Char
 - Beam, Gilthead
 - Brill

2. What is a reason for not eating sharks or other deep water fish?
 - They tend to be slow growing, long-lived species such as red fish and orange roughly, which breed slowly and are vulnerable to over exploitation

3. What are some "fish to eat," "fish to eat occasionally," and "fish to avoid"?
 - Fish to eat: well managed , sustainable stocks of farms, or are resilient to fishing pressure
 - Fish to eat occasionally: from fisheries that are at risk of becoming unsustainable due to environmental, management or stock issues
 - Fish to avoid: from  unsustainable, overfished, highly vulnerable or poorly- managed fisheries or farming systems
